Elmo Just got a baby Brother

[angelicvampyre]

Ok so I ended up with a 3 week old green quaker babay!

Iam lucky as Pip a friend of mine has hand raised baby birds before and he took him on in a flash, once Charlie (what he has been called) gets to the stage that if I have to go to work all day he will be fine without a midday feed then I will take him back and finsish the hand raising.

I was planning on getting another bird later down the track and this addition has just spend up the process, I also really wanted a blue one but I know that I willmost likley get attached to this guy. So now the hunt for a cage so when he is ready he has one. Reading like mad on how to hand raise them.

Will post pictures when I get a chance

elmo has been showing intrest in him, Elmo sat on my shoulder as I feed Charlie tonight and my sister has also taken a real shine to him!

congratulations.......I like l the look and the sound (from reading about them) of their personalities and maybe one day I might just buy myself a blue one.

I have always wanted a blue one but I am 100% sure this guy will be green and also I am 95% sure that he is a quaker!

My pair didn't do any good this year, but I get so much pleasure from them I really don't mind. I hope you have endless fun with the little one - I'm sure you'll keep us posted.

Yes will do, he seems so funny that I hope he tamed down quick, this will be the first time that I have hand raised something like this so learning curve here I come!
