Hello

Subject: Hello Mon Mar 30, 2009 4:58 pm

Hi everyone.

Just thought I would introduce myself, I'm 26 from west midlands. I have one bird, had him for just over a week not sure of his age or sex, but am assuming he's quite young as my dad knows a bit about birds. I've called him Waffle, I also have 2 cats a Seal Point Ragdoll called Poppy and a Calico called Biscuit.

Hope to get some pictures of Waffle up soon. :)

Good luck with the photo taking! I have some good shots of my birds but for every good one I get, I have another 20 odd that are of an empty perch or a tain feather! :narc:

I normally bribe my Gracey to sit still with a piece of fruit! rub hands

Daisy's right btw, if you can get a half decent picture, we might be abe to tell you if you have a male or female. full_of_it

The males are quite noticably bigger than females but if you've only got the one, you'll have nothing to compare with... Uhhh, the only other thing I can think of without seeing Waffle is that males are normally more vocal than females, but that's not very reliable as females can chatter away too! crying_with_laughter

Anyway, can't wait to see Waffle!!

Subject: Re: Hello Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:26 pm

Yup I have to agree with the girls ^ good luck with the picture taking, I have ALOT of blank, blurry, one feather pictures :lol1:

They are quick as lightening bananasplit

Subject: Re: Hello Fri Apr 03, 2009 12:58 am

Subject: Re: Hello Fri Apr 03, 2009 1:11 am

ahh, this is very true! lol! i bet loads of people walk past and have a good old nosy at the birds. angel

i've just been to tesco as well, i should of stopped on the way past and had a peep over the wall! LOL

Subject: Re: Hello Fri Apr 03, 2009 5:48 pm

Waffle ventured out of his cage for the first time yesterday, after leaving his door open for a couple of days he finally climbed out and flew around the room, he now has a few favourite places to perch. Next I'm hoping he'll start using his bath rather than trying to bath in his water bowl lol :)

Subject: Re: Hello Fri Apr 03, 2009 7:01 pm

Waffle!! you are such a breave birdie!! as far as the water dish, bath transition nosepic

good luck there! my mustache has to sing to herself as she spreads water everywhere lol she can have an Olympic sized birdie bathtub at her disposal & looks at it like confused
