Thank you very much for the video. Neptune is still a little apprehensive but trying out what you've done in the video over the last week with stepping up has been working slowly. Fingers crossed we can make Neptune feel a little more comfortable. Mary, short of actually tasting the pellets (not qui...

Re: New and a little nervous!!

Hi Mary. I won't lie, the last few days have been a little trying for the poor darling with all the Christmas excitement. James (my partner) and I have been on the go so we haven't been home a great deal during the day to socialise with Neptune which I'm not happy with.....and I don't think Neptune ...

Re: New and a little nervous!!

Hi MissK! Haha I do get your point and maybe after the DNA test Neptune's name might be altered just in case. However my partner is pretty hooked on the name regardless if it's a male or female! :D I've spoke to an avian vet who is conveniently located only 10 minutes from home. They're booked out u...

Re: What to Feed your Parrot (recipes, toxicities, links too

Thank you very much for this thread. Just brilliant! I'm picking up my new baby in a couple of days and it's just finished weaning & seems to have a diet of mostly seeds. I'll have to double check if it's been given any fruit or veg. I've been told it's about 14 weeks old. If it hasn't however, ...
