Hmmm, it is a little after 5 PM your time, wonder if Wee Willy has moved in yet?
Hi, we went around 4 and picked him up. He is a sweetheart, very, very shy, but came out and sat on Helen's hand while I took everything out of the cage, scrubbed it down, and put some of it back in, but not all. That cage was so crowded with toys, he hardly had room to move around. Helen has already fallen for him.....we both just think he was so pitiful. :(
Willy does not look as healthy as Roger. Now that I've really spent some time with him and checked him over thoroughly, he and Roger are probably about the same size though. He must have really been "puffed" up when I saw him on Saturday. I think he has been getting nothing but seeds to eat, so I will supplement him with the same things Roger is getting. He might look better very soon. He is really totally gray, with shades of yellow around his head and those orange cheeks, which are not as bright as Roger's. With some of the supplements, I imagine his colors will brighten significantly.
I was just glad to get him home, cleaned up, loved on, etc. He is in the guest room, with the radio playing on classical music, with bowls full of food and clean toys. We will check on him regularly, just want to give him time to get adjusted to our house, without having to meet all of the other feathered and furry friends right away. :)

Welcome Home Willy!:) And welcome to the good life, there at the Givens' household!! He sounds precious Logan. I know with your good loving and some good food he'll be bright and cheery in no time! Can't wait to see his pics.! Love to you Willy!
Welcome Willy!!!! Congrats Logan and Helen on your new addition!!! I know absolutely nothing about birds! Will the 2 boys get along? I hope it all works out! Keep us updated...
Willy, you just stepped into my "favorite" pet talk home, the one I want to come live in!!! There is enought love there for everyone+++
(By the way, Logan, I was looking at your pics of your house the other day! Now I want to come even more!!!!!!)
Can't wait to hear Willy stories...Oh no, now you have a Willy and a Lilly! I wonder if Willy can say his own name....Could be trouble!!! "Hi Willy, Willy come, Willy food, Willy, etc :p :D
Welcome home, Willy. We've been expecting you, sweet boy!!!
:D
Wobble, Wobble, THUD. Wobble, Wobble, ThUD! Hmmm, what's that sound?..... OH, it's Logan FALLING for Willy!;) :D
So happy about your new addition to the family! Willy could not have gone to a more Loving home! Logan, do you know what ruly BEE-YOO-TEE-FULL Person you are?:D
Congratulations to all, HELEN, Lilly, Honey, Mimi, Butter, Olivia, Roger and now Willy !
Whenever I think of any of God's creatures being harmed, ignored, mistreated or misplaced, I grieve!
Logan and Helen, what a wonderful thing you are doing for Willy. Can you imagine how mixed up he must have been to have a happy home and then suddenly be sent off to a pet store and fed only a diet of seeds. Of course, the previous owner may be heartbroken and I hope it eases her to know that Willy will now have a forever happy home.
Yes, pictures!! I laugh when I think of all of the sounds that must come out of your house!! All WONDERFUL!!
You are all so sweet and so supportive! Our Willy will be just fine, I'm sure. We're going to smother him with love. :)Quote:

Willy is about two years old. We think Roger is approximately 4-5 months old. They will live in separate cages, but hopefully in the same room very soon, so that they can enjoy each other's company. They will not be able to remain in my office......at least not during the day! Explaining the noise level is getting embarassing.....too!! I can put them in the next room and it will probably be ok and they can look out the window. LOL!
I'll keep you posted on "the meeting" between Roger and Willy. Depending on how things go, I may put them in the same room tomorrow, so they can "chat"!
Ummm...Miz Logan, are you absolutely-positively sure Willy is a boy? Maybe Willy is a Willamina!:eek:Quote:

I am sure Mimi has already said to Roger "I told you so. I've been down this road with her before!" :D :D
Congrats to Logan, Helen and Willy!! (And of course the rest of the family!)
When Willy and Roget get to talking, your customers will think you are very busy with all the conversations going on in the background!!!
Best wishes!
I wondered the same thing..... :confused: :confused:Quote:

I am going to have to read up a little more! I think there is a chance he is a he, but just hasn't gotten the good supplements to make his colors show up brightly. I did forget to tell you that he has lovely white outlining on his wings. And his tail is mostly gray, but he has sort of yellow and white stripes on his tail feathesr too. I can't wait to get a picture and share him with you. Only problem is, he/she is a bit rattled right now and not too interested in coming out of the cage. As long as we stand there with our hand inside, he sits on our finger very contented!! LOL!!! :D
Oh, and Loud Lou, I think it was you that started the whole stereo thing.....we have stereo, only problem is it is two different tunes!!! :D
If Willy is a Willamina...can you imagine Roger, Willy, +babies...all singing Zippity Doo Dah....?!;) :D :cool:Quote:
