Bennie Pictures! -8 total-

[CamCamPup33]

Im finally back, with pictures of bennie of course!

Bennie is doing really great.. Im already attached to him, and I've only had him a few days. Having a bird is SO different from having a dog or a cat... Everytime I leave the room, that bennie is in, I hear *SCREECH, SCREECH* telling me that I forgot him. Birds are much more dependent. Bennie has learned to whistle, im not sure if he already knew or not but he does it every once and a while.

BTW- These pictures were taken back in Tennessee,


Logan and I in Asheville


"What?"

HI BENNIE!!!! Amber, he looks SO happy!!! What a cutie pie!!! I love it when my birds scream when I leave them 'alone' in a room. It makes me feel loved. They do that when they want you back.

I'm so glad to see Bennie all happy in his new forever home. I know Logan will be thrilled to see this. Congrats Amber! Thanks for the wonderful pictures! You know we'll want to see pictures very often.

How exciting! I'm so happy that I will get to see more Bennie pics! BTW, I know that Logan will be answering any questions you might have, but if you need to you can PM me or use my AIM name Princessdi127 I have 4 tiels and I have had Alex since she was a baby eight years ago. I'm still learning myself because there is ALWAYS something to learn about these little guys, but I could help you too. Also, are you sure Bennie is a boy? His orange patches don't look as dark as my boy's patches are.

Awww! He's adorable!

Is he already letting you scratch his head, Amber? Wow!!! How does he like his new cage?

Someone asked about the girl/boy thing....Bennie does not have as bright of cheeks as Roger, but he also doesn't have the bars on his tail that are typical of females. It is a tossup and Amber knows that. My vet and I just decided to say "he" because of the bar thing. The other two were much more decidedly girls. If he lays an egg, then you know you don't have a boy! LOL!!!!

Love the pictures. Keep on telling me all about him, please!!!

Yep! He'll nibble at my finger and hold his head down waiting then when I move my finger away he'll nibble again, wanting me to scratch his head again. At first, he REALLY didn't like me touching his head/back. By the second day, he leaned his head down and let me pet him, but he was still pretty insistent with me going any further than his neck. But now, he let's me pet him with no problem. I even managed to kiss his little head today!

And, he LOVES his cage. He was exploring it last night when I put him in it. I also set the toy you gave me, outside of the cage, so it's hanging. When I have him out he'll just climb up his cage and on to his toy.

The only thing im having trouble with is getting him to eat anything other than seeds. I cut up carrots for him today, but he didn't want it. Did he like any specific thing when he was with you?

Awwwww what a sweetie!!! That's so cute how he asks for head scritches.. Looks like he's one happy bird, who has made himself feel right at home...
Great pictures! Bennie is a beautiful bird.

OMG Amber! congrats!! he's sooo cute!!! I love that "what?" pic of him Baybi screeches if I leave the room too, but not if you close the door since Baybi is a female, she doesn't talk much, but she can wolf whistle. I've heard males are better talkers than females... anyway! What a cutie!! sounds like he already loves you!!! CONGRATULATIONS... haha i'm so excited!!

Amber, he has never had carrots. He has had bits of boiled egg, green leaf lettuce, kale, raw brocolli and cauliflower and cheerios. He has also had some pasta and rice and Chex cereal. That's about it. They eat such small amounts that it is frustrating at times trying to feed them a variety because the stuff goes bad before you can use it all. I usually tear the lettuce into small pieces, the brocolli and cauliflower too. Some of the others might have good ideas of different things you can introduce as well.

Is he stepping up for you? I'm just thrilled with the pictures!!!

And is he being quiet for you at night? I do hope so! Don't hesitate to cover his cage with a towel or sheet if you need to. I think it is sweet that he calls for you! Roger and Milly do the same thing, especially in the day time.

Ill try some of the things you said.

Yep, he's been stepping up. Sometimes he'll get mad, and not want to, and peck at me. But most of the time he gets to step onto my finger when it's there.

And yes he has been quiet. I had a blanket for him that covered his cage in TN. but i don't use it now. Once he sees the lights are off and im not moving, he'll settle down and go to sleep. Now if im up and about and put him in for the night, he'll go crazy wanting out.
