;D Hi there
I a new proud mother of a cinnamon red rump he is abosutley gorgous and i knew as soon as i saw him i wanted him. I have him next to my comp table and as i spend most of my time here studing so i can talk to him while im doing it. He seems happy but ive only just bought him home i cant wait to hear him sing i got told they have a lovely noises.
so patiently waiting lol. I got him a few things to play with but i think he is over whelmed atm. But im going to have a lay down and hopefully he will come out of his shell while im asleep.
Ill post a pic as soon as i can. he is only a baby is there anything i need to know about what to give him or stuff like that.

well congratulations on your baby. It will take more time than a "nap" for him to settle in. It usually takes a couple of weeks before you start to see the "true" personaltiy of a newcomer. I have never owned a red rump but others here have so they will be able to give you more info. But my advise is ......... plenty of fresh food and veges, (no avocado, chocolate or alchol .... for the bird of course ;D ) and I would use a mix of small parrot seed mixed with budgie seed for him to eat also. Have some toys in his cage for him to play with and give him some "out" time of his cage too.

Hi Chickiebabe


Red rumps do have a nice song, you'll love it when he settles in and starts calling. I have spoken to a few people who said that when they sold their red rumps they had to buy more because they missed the beautiful song so much
Tracey had good advise for you, fruit and veg and they looooove bottle brush branches to chew the leaves off ( only from trees you know haven't been sprayed with chemicals)
Enjoy

Welcome!
I love Red Rumps and have a few with 4 fledging early December. Their songs are complex and beautiful to listen to. When they sing you close your eye's and it takes you away . . .
