New Present for Spike

[crazy_caique]

Lucky Spike! I like that cage.Mine doesn't have as much room to the wide as it does tall but It is alwas hard for me to find a cage that Emmy likes and is easy to clean.Do you have a wood toy in there for her to chew?(they can be bought for like 5 dollars)or a cuttlebone?(99 cents)

yeah she has her cuddle bone, at the time i took the pic we didnt have it in there. my boyfriend( jason) had a tough time getting her in there. she got out of his hands, but the last time he picked her up she didnt bite, she just chirped, so maybe she is getting used to us.

Oh am so happy she is starting to trust you and your boyfriend.She was proable scared of the new cage my bird emmy did that with her new cage too.Emmy alwas takes a few days to get used to new things.I think most cockatiels do.

What a nice cage. I bet Spike is happy in his new digs!

Is that the cage that is like $30ish from Walmart? I was looking at it (for when I get a bird) but I wasn't sure how sturdy it is.

yeah i got it from walmart, it was like 50$. well my parents got it for us for xmas.

when jasons parents went to petco they got a cocktiel care sheet, and im doing everything on there but it said that the birds are supposed to come out of the cage everyday, but we cant with spike yet. so is it bad for her to be in the cage all the time? I just hope soon we can hold her!

Not to sound sick or anything, but today i noticed that spike had some feces that look like diahrrea. lighter than usual. is it something she ate? i havent been feeding her anything diffrent.

another question...can you tell by their size how old they are?
