oh my gosh finally!!....almost 4 months to the day Safari died, I finally found my Senegal baby.
there was an ad on kijiji, that I responded to and went out this morning to take a look at her(the owner thinks it's a she from a pelvic exam)
she stepped out of the cage, I put my finger up, and she promptly beaked my thumb rather hard.....ok I'll let him take you out
he took her out and then she stepped up for me again, then promptly beaked my thumb again
rather beaky I'd say
the next time I was prepared for it, then I started rubbing her beak every time she tried it....well, she forgot all about it then just wanted her beak rubbed, haha.
After 10 minutes or so, she wasn't beaking any more....apparently it's just a phase and easily trained out....good, cause Safari never ever beaked me hard.
I named her Martini, she's 3 months old,pied,(her dad is pied) banded, hand fed and tamed.
the breeder fed her Zupreem fruit blend, and sunflower seeds...uggg.
she never ate the pellets just the seeds, but he was honest and told me she prefers the seeds.
fast forward home: I put her in the cage, and she went straight for the good food....brown cooked wild rice, sprouted split peas, corn, peas, and beans.
the good thing about her is she was in the cage with 4 sun conures and around a11 month old Scarlett macaw, 6 baby AG's, 10 baby lovebirds,cockatiels, Alexandrine and 4 blue front Zons.
this guy has probably $30,000 in bird sales alone, sitting in his kitchen.
he told me his Senegal pair are on eggs again....and I'm thinking....so soon!!!
(way too soon)...unless she is double clutching.
then he found out I breed pure cockatiel Lutinos....he offered to pay me what I want for them, he would come out, and buy them so I don't have to feed them.
I have 3 baby cockatiels that just hatched, 5,3,1 day old.
....Breeders.....why is it always about money! I personally would rather hang on to my babies, cause they are just that --my babies....for me it's not about the money, it's about raising them, and I love it.
Martini, loves her cage, I have her in Willows old cage, and it's currently in the living room away from my other birds, until her quarantine is over.
Anybody have any info on a pied Senegal? he said they are rare, I'm thinking it's just strange
Martini getting a taste for the yummy food
who is this strange person looking at me?? ha ha
