Renee's Birds
Meeting neighbors
Lucy is big. The hens are so beautiful, both the boys & girls are stunning parrot's. The feathers look like velvet, bright & vibrant, they are so unique. I can't wait to touch & hold my boy. I know I must go slow & give him time to adjust. I hope he comes to me on his own. I will just see how he is & go from there.Both of my ekkies are Red Sided although our vet thinks Lucy may have some Vos in her because of her size. She is bigger than Sergei and she weighs 560 grams while Sergei stays around 490 grams.
Best advice: Don't let all that fruit sit in the cage too long! I take it away and dump it after a couple hours and scrub up the mess both in their cages and on the walls daily. Leave it even overnight and it smells rotton. Summer is hopefully approaching now so Fruit Flies will invade very quickly and are awful to get rid of. I wipe everything each day with warm water and vinegar to make sure any splattered fruit juices aren't left behind to attract the fruit flies or ants. It sounds like a lot of work but it becomes routine and it's no big deal!
