Tiny chick

[iamwhoiam]

Beautiful baby. You're doing a great job taking care of the little one.

Excellent name suggestions!! It’s hard to choose, but I’m leaning toward George/Georgia. I’m still mulling.

7/30 update: the baby is now three weeks old! She/He spends a lot of the day eating and sleeping, but is a bit more alert these days, so I’ve started letting him/her hang out with me. I’ve fashioned a small hammock around my neck, so the chick stays warm. It looks absolutely ridiculous, but the baby seems to like it, and he’s getting used to the household activity.

It is soo not rediculous! That’s a great way to keep baby warm and close for naps after meals and bonding!

It doesn't look ridiculous at all. In fact it looks.more like a scarf. Besides, the birdie looks so happy.

8/6/2020 update: the baby is now four weeks old, 84g, and has been named...(drumroll)... Victor/Victoria, or Tory for short! Tory is still happy to eat and cuddle, but is also more interested in exploring. Tory has also discovered that it is great fun to preen my husband’s beard.

He/she is too cute ! So happy for u guys ! His crop looks really big in the photos, do make sure he doesn't fall on it ! I think in a week he will start flying or practicing :] You might have to adjust your handfeeding schedule for that so his crop isnt full when landing from a flight (Not sure though i dont have experience with handfeeding) .

Btw your daughter looks just like you!

8/11 update: Tory can fly!! The only problem is she is more interested in practicing than eating... I can’t get her to take more than three bites before she wants to climb up to my shoulder and practice flapping.

Congratulations! Your reward is having a gentle, loving bird that you can be very close with. Thanks for the inspiring story!

Week 8: Tory is an expert flyer, and very demanding of scritches

Tory is beautiful! Loved watching her grow from a tiny chick. Great thread!

Wow. Great job!

Update: Tory is now4months old, and is weaned. Very hard to get a good pic, these days, as Tory insists on a super-close-up.
