Hello back guys!
As you might know I’ve been pretty active in the forum since I got Mambo my BFA. I thought that it would be a good idea to make a thread where I can explain how Mambo goes, the new things he does, etc...
First of all a little introduction for the people who don’t know me.
I’m Jose, currently living in Belgium, got some birds and recently got a BFA who’s almost 5 months old. He’s (Mambo) been handfed but not tamed so he stills a bit “wild”, but day after day we can see the huge progress that he’s making!
So for the first day I wanted to explain how intelligent he is.
This morning I was working and Mambo was around me. The door of his cage was closed (I usually leave it open and he goes to drink when he needs) by mistake and he was thirsty. He went flying to the tap and tried to open it, I didn’t understand it so I just took him back near me. 2-3 minutes later he flew again and went near a water bottle and tried to open it.. it’s there that I realised that he was thirsty and he was trying to tell me.
I was shocked to see how intelligent it is to tell me that he’s thirsty!!
Another thing, 2 or 3 days ago. I finished having dinner so I was going to arrange all the dishes and after that prepare Mambo his pellets (mixed with water cause he didn’t like pellets) as usual. If you read my posts I already explained that I think in the store they didn’t really get him weaned, and he stills eating like a baby. So well, I usually give him that “paste” with a spoon because it’s easier for him.
Suddenly Mambo flew to me with a little spoon (that I had used for my dessert) in his foot. I guess he wanted to tell me he was hungry, so I hurried to make him his food and he finished it ALL!
I was so happy, first of all to see that he tried to be good with me, because he bites, and secondly to see how he tried to communicate with me.
Another thing that happened is: every time he bites me I leave him on the table and go to a room next to where he is, he usually flies and screams. Looks like now he know that 5 minutes later I’m going to come back, so he doesn’t even scream or fly. I think that this is bad..
He doesn’t bite as the first days, but he stills biting, and stills hurting.. (not blood though).
But overall I think that as it’s just about 3 weeks I have him he stills not really used to me.. I will give him time!
I am thinking in more things that happened but right now nothing comes to my mind.. I will write again soon and tell you about his “stories”!!
See you soon, in this same post!
By the way! I will post also pictures of him in my other posts!
