2 new bourkes

[Appolosmom]

I just picked up 2 Bourke that a lady had and did not want any more. They will be 4 on Sept 1st. She thinks that they are 2 girls, I have them in the backroom for their isolation period. They are eating and seem to be settling in

Pretty birds. Best of luck with them. Its got to be awful to be unwanted like they were.

I know , she let me have both of them for $80.00, must have really wanted them gone. I think they are beautiful

I kind of think that 1 is a male. It's larger than the other one and has a blue line above it's nostrils

Yes, they look to be male and female! Male is obvious as he has more coloration on his stomach and wings. I can't see the female as well, but her wings just appear duller. Sad to see she's been clipped.

They are beautiful. Thanks for taking them into your home.

I know Monica, sometimes I just don't understand why people do what they do, she told me that she was an escape artist maybe that is why she clipped her . I know the pictures aren't that good all this rain were having in Toledo for Pete's sake I think we became Washington state.

I have looked and looked for months, everyone has the rosy and Rubio which are very nice birds but I just love the normal color I think they are gorgeous.

Beautiful birds, congrats!

how long will it take for her wing feathers to grow back in? just wondering

 

[Monica]

It's great at least they landed in a good home! Wings should grow out anywhere from a few weeks to a year, plus... depending on when she was clipped as compared to her molt cycle...

 

[sunnysmom]

They're so cute! As Monica said, it depends on the molt cycle. I will say I was horrified at Elvis's wing clip when I got him and was actually pretty amazed at how quickly they grew in. So hopefully the same happens with yours.

 

[Appolosmom]

I hope her wings grow in pretty fast I have them in a flight cage and the Male is flying around, while she looks so sad that she can't

Awe Congratulations on bringing these little ones home. I hope they adjust well to their new life! A life where they get to be birds
