did you get a birdWell, the little guy arrived today!
I am a nervous wreck. To be honest. Need some input from the healthy hawkhead owners. Since my only experience with this type of bird was with a sick one, there's a few new questions.
He seems real nippy. Now I know this is his first day, so maybe it's all just a bit much for him right now, but he does like to grab fingers. He steps up good! And he enjoys being cuddled under your chin, but the nippy-ness has me a little concerned. Is this similar to Macaw-type behavior and treated as such? This bird is non-stop, I swear. The energy level is pretty crazy. I can see why they compare them to caiques.
I'm also worried about cross contamination with the birds. Like i'm afraid I'm going to neglect Mopar because I handled the hawkhead and vice versa. All because I'm paranoid. I probably shouldn't be, as the new bird came form a place that screens them and checks for viruses. And Mopar was at the vet not long ago, but I am still paranoid. IDK why I do this to myself. LOL....
Anyways, attached are a few photos of the new guy! I still don't have a name for him.
very cute is it a girl

Great to hear! The only time I am annoyed with Maverick's flying ability is when he flies over to Mopar's cage to evict him.Great to hear! Target is starting to fly a lot more too. Still a bit clumsy though lol. But she enjoys it, which is good.
he/she is so cute!!!!!!!
