just about the same... i fyou can get some cuttlebone for both that would be even greater... cuttlebone gives them calcium and hens need it more in case of egg production....

also veggies are a super plus... I haven´t made mine taste other than broccoli...

just have her on what she is on now... and gradually introduce more veggies and/or diff foods... seeds, pellets, etc...

I´m so excited to see her... ...

TIP: millet is super great for bonding... they loooooove millet...

I'll get her her very own Cuttle bone this weekend (I don't get paid until the end of the week). Bobbie just LOVES his!

I'll try to the food thing... Do you recommend any brand of food? My dog food guy (Global & Ryans) is getting into all animal foods & can get me anything I want (saves me from running around the GTA).

I'm so excited to see her too!!! I hope she behaves in the box :S

I feed mine Roudybush.. me and them love it!!.. theres no waste at all (all pellets as a matter of fact) (no flyind seed husks all over) but it can get a lil pricey... (you can ask for a free sample to try it first so you don´t buy, some bird are way picky eaters)

Harrisons and Zupreem are really good too... (Zupreem can be found more easily on petstores, the uncolored ones are better, as colored ones makes poop get color and you can´t tell if bird is sick or it´s just the coloring)...

if you do feed... I suggest the smaller sized pellet...as at first they´d try to dehusk them and the cracked pellet would fly all over... and the smaller would get gobbled down

that and a mix of seed/veggies would be great

heres the new bird.

Shes quite nice. Shes missing several toes & in general looks a little dirty. I saw his other birds & they all looked great! I got to hold 2 of his 3. His Conure Bit me too lol She was a riot though.. cute little thing

Awee such a Pretty Baby..

Awee such a Pretty Baby..

That she is

I'll try to get pics of the under part of her tail. The feathers are yellow with black lines! I think its really pretty. Bobbie only has solid yellow tail feathers, so its really nice that she is quite different in colour. It'll be easy to tell them apart hehehe

Shes soooooo friendly & beggs for attention. The second you pick her up, she stops peeping & gets relaxed. I might set up something uptop of Digi's kennel (its beside my computer) so she can be near me. I don't think I can keep her in the closet long term, as I really fear it'll emotionally mess her up & cause more harm then good.

The guy said she use to be with her old owner all the time. But after her accident she became semi wild as no one would take her out. But when he got her, all she wanted was non-stop attention from him. So I don't think shes semi wild at all.. shes quite tame.

So I feel stuck between a rock & a hard place. I know she is quite stressed as i'm sure she still hasn't recovered (mentally) from the accident, then being neglected attention, then being sent to a new home, & then a month later comes to my home. So I really don't think I can keep her locked away for that long.

If I had her first & got bobbie 2nd, then he would be just fine on his own chill'n in the closet, & having me talk to him in the morning, after work & before bed. But this one seems really clingy & that is how she was with the guy I got her from.

If either bird falls ill, then I'll have to suck it up & take them both to the vet. As it has to be easier treating an illness then a mental illness...

But I'm curious as to why she is missing so many toes. I can understand loosing 1, but missing at least 3, where 2 are the back toes, seems odd to me.

she´s soo cute!!... love her dark beak...awww....

missing toes: ... one could be she was born that way.. or... another bird chopped them off...

she doesn´t has to be locked away... just far from direct contact from Bobbie... one can be in the computer room and one in the bedroom....that would do.... even extreme opposites of same room.. but there´s also airborne viruses... but one can do what one can do best... and if same room is best, just don´t let them have touching contact for a while....

watch if she´s fluffed, on bottom on cage, poops, that sort of things.... she might do that the first day until she´s used to the new environment but will perk up...

she sounds such a sweet bird.... those tail feathers are lovely...love those patterns... you´ll love a pearl tiel feathers
