Went to the store to get pond food and millet....brought back something small and blue...
She was the plumpest and generally best looking of the blues. Are they sexable visually??
Calling it a she, or at least trying to, I tend to call everything 'he', kinda backwards to how everyone calls everything 'she', lol. She's about 1mo old the kid said, had them in for a few weeks. She's got her flight feathers, not hand tame, no bite, but is a chicken.
How do you tame a flighty bird??
Have her set up in Cypher's travel cage he never uses, it's plenty big for her. We got a big one for over night stays for him, but he ~hates~ the white cage wire. :/
Anyway, set her up with some toys, do they play with toys?? Cypher doesn't. Bowl of water and food, millet sprig and a soft hand towel in the corner to hide in. Covered two sides of the cage with a towel. Wood branch going up the middle and two plastic perches in there as well.
Food's on the ground in the bowl, will she find it?
Cypher was slightly interested in saying Hi, but then he spotted the millet and that was that. No, I didn't let him touch her, just wanted him to see her and say Hi. She's living in the kitchen for now. Another room from Cypher. Named her Iceberg.
Any way to tell age? She's very tiny and feels like I'm holding nothing at all. Maybe 5in total.
