Not sure why, but that 3rd most recent pic makes me M-E-L-T!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some reason I keep seeing the names Cosmo or Cujo for him, I dont know why... I know you dont want to change it (from Snickers) but I had to let you know, he looks like a Cosmo or Cujo to me hehe

Cujo is the name of a rottweiler on a tv show i like, i'm not sure i could envision it on my little Snickers. :lol: He's definitely stuck on Persnickety. From that he gets Snickers and Snicks, but almost equally as often these days he gets Percy.

The photos look like Snickers is sitting at the "Grown Ups Table" It's a little like a smaller version of a Thanksgiving meal.

An American thing, but noteworthy. Such as here:

You know what, Bea?

A many thanks to you for sharing the whole experience with everyone. With school and everything else you have on your plate, it was certainly something how you stuck with ieeping everyone in-tuned with the day-by-day details. Not only your verbage but pictures to boot!

THis might sound mushy, but I believe it's deserved.



Major Kudos :thumbu::thumbu:

I'm glad it's being enjoyed!! I've loved sharing the journey with everyone!

And i soooo know what you mean about Snickers looking like he's at the grown ups table. We don't have Thanksgiving obviously, but we've down that same seating arrangement at xmas time when we have lots of the family around.

 

Snickers had a surprise for me when i got home from a tiring and BORING day of school today!!!

......................

Can you guess what it is???

Who's a big boy now!!

He somehow ended up there, which was either a very artistic tumble from up the top near the nest box, or he can jump/climb/fly and i'm not giving him enough credit.

This is a blessing really, because i've rearranged the cage to keep most things low and ladder like so Snickers can get around, and i've taken the nest box out and just put an upside down shoebox with an entry hole on the floor with some wood shavings in it for Snickers. Hopefully this has happened soon enough to discourage Cookie from laying.

Here are some more photos of my little bubba trying out the new down low feeding zone. I put it low to make sure he could reach, but also to make sure Cookie and Bailee would visit Snickers level regularly.

Tired baby!

 

Well, just when i thought stepping out of the nest box and into the big wide world was big enough for one day....the little devil proves me wrong!!!

Look at his new trick!

Yup, that's right!! His very first flight caught on video. He's had another go after that and it landed him behind the cabinet in the living room, hehe.

 

Awww so cute, I'll have to watch the rest of the vid later. Hugs is here screaming at me lol.

 

AAAAWWWWW!!!!.... that was soooo cute!!!.. and Bailee at the end look like "are you ok?, lemme check for boo boo´s..."....

way too adorable.. *sniff sniff* he´s so grown up....

 

:clap: Yeah go Snickers

 

That was so cute!!!! Yay for snickers, his first flight!

 

What an adorable big boy he now is

That flight video is awesome too! He looked so confused and funny after he perched on your finger, and had the classic "Whoa dude! What just happened!" look on his face hehe *melt*

ps- Percy was the name I almost named Memphis and even Maya (when I 1st got her and thought she was a male) hehe. I love the name!

My little man just had some warm mashed banana for morning tea. I think that has been his favourite food so far, it went down even better than mashed sweet potato! He's only 72-73g empty now, at his peak he was 78g empty. I think it'll improve again when he figures out how to eat more on his own. He certainly seems noisy, happy and curious, and his poops are normal (though small if it's been a while since Cookie or Bailee fed him).

 

Snickers has good taste bananas are my favourite as well, although I have never tried them warm and mashed

 

Snickers had a second feed of mashed bananas at lunch time. I think he's getting fed a little bit from Bailee, a little bit that he's eating from the seed and veggie bowls (his beak has certainly got stronger, i noticed when he was nibbling my fingers today), and the mushy foods i offer him throughout the day. I'm about to upload some more photos of the family and i'll post them soon!

 

Here are some new photos for today! To begin with Cookie left a present on the cage floor.

Now for some birdy photos! I took some of Cookie, Bailee and Snickers.

This is a terrible photo of a once in a life time event. It lasted about 1 second in total! Cookie scratched Bailee's head!!!!!

She'll never do it again though. That 1 second was enough to last Bailee a life time according to her!

This is what Snickers thinks of smoochy parents...

EWWWWW!!!

We have had a lot more flying practice today. He's spectacularly good at flying up, hitting the roof and tumbling down, though he has managed to fall to some ideal perching spots (e.g. cage top, my finger, pillow).

I love this photo, if you look closely you can see Bailee licking Snickers eye, hehe.

 

Snickers has great taste, i like bananas too, but like Laura said, I've never tried them warm and mashed, lol

 

thats so cute

 

Awww, those photos are cute Bea, especially the one with Bailee cleaning Snickers, it reminded me of when your mother comes at you with a licked tissue! lol

 

:rofl: Bailee definitely has the concerned mother gene. He just loves arranging Snickers feathers and cleaning his face. Poor Snickers yells at him like "DAD!! You're SO embarrassing!!".

 

i never thought of trying warm mashed banana when i was at the british shop the other day i had some mushy peas and thought hmmm i wonder and i was right they gorged them all down

 

Bailee is a "Mr. Mom". Very maternal.

And I guess Cookie is the "Diva".

Very cute pics.

And I love the video. Bailee checking and making sure that Snickers is okay. I know you say that Bailee is a dork. but he is a very sweet dork.

 

oh those are just adorable, snickers is growing so quick

the picture of him and Bailee is to die for Love the background (what ever it may be) makes it look so profesional

but then again I love all your pics - wish my camera worked as great as yours

 

The two backgrounds (the blue one and the pink one) are sarongs from Bali, hehe. I was given them as presents and they make convenient covers for my ceiling to floor mirrors...and good photo back drops. :rofl:

 

aww those are pretty

I really thought it was Pj pants or a sheet or something like that lol

 

Great photos Snickers is growing up so fast Did you exchange Cookies present for a different one already

 

Yes, there's a plastic egg in the cage now. Cookie never showed any interest in the egg anyway.

 

wow. missed a lot for one night of camping with no computer. What a nice gift cookie. better hope she don't turn into a cronic egg layer now. So, when you shipping snickers up here. Slush need a friend who wont pluck her and that isn't a budgie.

 

Lets hope Cookie stops laying soon, or then we are in a pickle!

 

awww......so cute... I love Bailee... he sure is way too sweet....

hey... you could ship those eggs to me you know
