I'm so glad he is adapting to your home! He is quite handsome & looks to know it too! They are amazing animals once you gain their trust. People are shocked that they can be so affectionate & gentle loving to be with you & doing silly things to get your attention. I think my favorite thing is when they gently preen a single hair or eyelash or almost sigh when you are scritching their necks or underwings. I make my cockatiels (only birds I have a/the moment) a treat of "cornbread" muffins. I get a cornbread mix,(or make 1/4 batch, use w/grain flour) & toss it in the blender w 2-3 eggs (in shell) a chunked carrot, apple chunks,winter squash, zucchini, peas,beets, kale,olive oil(not too much),& anything else I can scrounge up. I pour it into mini-muffin cups/tin & bake. You have to cook a little longer than normal. Also my "bean mix" 1c 15 bean soup mix or make your own. 1c brown rice, 1 c frozen corn 1c cat or dog food. Put 1 1/4 c water in pan add beans, bring to boil, cover set 1hr. Add rice, corn, cat food + 1c water. bring to boil again, cover let sit 1hr. I put it in used yogurt containers 2-3 feedings. freeze & take out as needed. use within 3 days. and YES, my animals eat better than we do. Hubby complains but I tell him he has opposable thumbs and a brain bigger than a walnut...it's not rocket science so figure it out! :evil: :roll: J
