I am glad Merlin is putting on weight, that's the main thing - it doesn't matter how at the moment. I wonder if he would like Nutri-Berries, these are a mixture of seeds, pellets, vitamins and minerals made into little balls just the right size for holding in the foot. Mitzi loves them. www.northernparrots.com/lafeber-nutriberries-complete-parrot-food-pack-of-4-prod57608/(They used to do four different flavours but seem to only have two at the moment) Jane |

Hi,
with Merlin hopefully on the mend, can he catch a cold or anything like that from us? I have a family member that might be coming round to see Merlin that has got a cold?
thanks

No I don't believe they can catch colds from us but they are susceptible to the same bacteria as humans, such as might occur if your family member developed a bacterial infection during or after the cold (which can happen after a virus).

That is such an improvement between the two videos. I am so glad Merlin is feeling better. He is in lovely condition too apart from that little area on his front, lovely feathers and beak.

Hi, thanks Jane. He looks a lot better in the video with regard to his feather plucking than in real life I am afraid. If he were to lift his wings, he has pulled all the white down feathers out down to his thigh area. BUT, he is alive so its the last ting I am thinking about!
I should have put the videos in the other order really, ill first and then how he is today, but I think you can tell.
