Thank you!!! So far I know that he LOVES his safflower seeds, and when he takes his peanut (with shell) he runs around with it in his mouth and looks like a squirrel!! I didn't have my camera at the time but I will get one tomorrow :D. By the time I got my camera he already found his way onto his door-perch and was eating it :rolleyes:. And he likes to give kisses! When I go *mwah mwah mwah* he'll go *mwah mwah mwah* :D. Except we make real kissy noises lol! And he likes to talk at night right before he goes to sleep, and after I turn out the lights. So far I've heard him say "Hi baby," "Cricket," "Hi Cricket," "Goodnight," " Are you okay?," "You're cute," (?) and some long thing that I can't figure out. It sounds like "____ cure cure cure" but I'm pretty sure that's not what he said lol :p. And whenever I take him to the bathroom, he rubs himself up and down the mirror and says "Hi Cricket" lol!!
 
Hehe! Super cute :)

I made the same choice too, I was after a Sun but they were quite hard to find at the time (and still seem to be) in Melbourne so I went for a GCC. I think they are great though!

Yeah, me too!! :D Suns are beautiful, but I sure don't regret not having that "razor-wire" screaming! :o.

Interesting you say that. My Loco would be close to 7 months old now and he's really starting to develop a loud screech. He doesn't use it often but I know where it has come from. Where I live we have a lot of wild Lorikeets, Rosellas, Galahs, Black Cockatoos and the main culprits, the Sulphur-crested Cockatoos! The Sulphurs are VERY loud and Loco hear's them, his scream sounds just like them. He also mimics the Lorikeets he hears as they fly by, he calls out to them as if to say "hello, I'm down here".

He only really uses it to call out to us though so it's not bad, I find it quite amusing :)
 
Love your pictures your bird is so gorgeous and spoilt LoL
Sound like he is settling down well in a short space of time
Enjoy him and good luck

WOW I would love to live where you are!!!!!! You're so lucky :(. All we have here are robins and sparrows :p. I live in a notsocolorful world. Compared to yours at least!

Thank you!! :D He really is settling in well, he called for me when I came home from school today, and when I opened the cage he stepped right up onto my finger! And before, Crystal said he would run away from you inside his cage, but if you left the door open he would come out and step up outside of his cage. We've made a lot of progress! I think he chooses me over the cage now :D.

That is wonderful! I am so happy he is doing so well! I am sooo glad you are the one who got him! He sounds so happy!:D
 
He is so lucky to have you!! Your cage set up looks great, and what a creative idea to wrap the edge of the door with rope. I've been wanting to get the same cage that you have, for my gcc but wasn't sure the bars would be easy to clean. How are you finding it?

Oh they're very easy to clean!! Close up they look like they have tons of dents in them but they're actually very sturdy and wipeable. I love this cage!! :D
 
I ordered that same cage for my GCC a few days ago. I can't wait for it to arrive!

Ooh yay that's exciting!!!! I'll take pictures of mine (all four sides) because I had a bit of trouble putting it together :o. It was kind of confusing which panels went where because the directions were confusing and there was only one tiny picture!
 
Alright Boo, that bird is sooooo lucky, it's going to be one spoiled bird. If you haven't gotten your deposit back yet, send the breeder a letter threatening to sue if the deposit doesn't show up with a period of time like 10 days.

Hehe thank you!! :D I don't want to take her to court though because then we'll have to pay court fees and hire an attorney and stuff. My mom says that if it doesn't arrive by this Tuesday I'll email her back.

Sometimes even just a threat saying you will take her to court will do the trick.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you're enjoying the cage! :D As soon as I move to a bigger home, I'm definitely getting it for my cutie pie.

Well, she was actually the one who suggested we take her to court, so I don't think she has a problem with it. I still haven't gotten my money back but I emailed her again and she's on vacation, coming back tomorrow I think? Idk. She said she'll talk to me again when she gets back.
