Welcome home my baby Senegal!

[Newbsi]

I went today and she wouldn't let me leave without her! (I think she looks like a girl). I had chosen the name gollum... But she doesn't look like a gollum so I'm not sure yet. I'm excited! She is so sweet!

Congratulations! She is gorgeous! How old is she?

 

[RavensGryf]

Oh how absolutely cute!! Looks like such a baby

 

[MyFlock]

Congrats! You must be so excited!

 

[Doublete]

So there was no mistaking she picked you! Congrats!!

She is 10 weeks. All she wants to do is be held. It's sweet. Can you spoil them?
Also she kinda stinks. How can you give them a bath at this age?

Many congrats, she is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

Did the breeder not have the chicks sexed?

No, I don't think you can spoil them at this age. Make sure and socialize her - a LOT.

Wendy is right. Pois tend to become one person birds, so need lots of socialization.

She is very cute! Spoil her with many different loving people all giving her attention so she becomes sociable Thats how you can spoil her. That and lots of toys and foraging activities.

Aww what a cutie! Yes, you can spoil her, but just make sure you get her used to a lot of people/environments. Let everyone play with her, especially family members and friends. Poi's tend to prefer one person, and can get very nasty to EVERYONE else. But if you socialize her with everyone you both will be better off for it, especially between now and puberty.

For a bath, you can either spritz her or give her a shallow dish of cool water. She should know what to do. Enjoy her!
