Thirteen days old and weighing 158 grams. The tips of the pin feathers are starting to appear just under the skin, and it's eating 15ml at a time. I had big concerns that this wasn't going to go well, but I'm thrilled with the progress so far. I was talking with a customer at the store one day. He has a beautiful harlequin boy. With no prompting, this bird just crawled over to my shoulder and sat there looking around. We figured out that his bird is the offspring of the breeding pair that I now own. The other picture is that bird and it gives me a good idea of what this one may look like when fully grown.
I forgot to add that I'm pretty sure I've found a good person for Penny. He's a friend of mine and she has taken to him pretty easily. He has a blue & gold and he does an amazing job with her. Unfortunately, he's going through an ugly divorce right now so his blue & gold is staying with us because his wife keeps threatening to sell her. Both his girl and Penny will be with us until things are resolved. This will give both of them a chance to get socialized with each other before they leave.
