Rory Loooooooooooves
- scritches and as he is still young he has little pin feathers round his neck that he loves rubbed cos he cant reach them himself (but be gentle or you hurt him)
- to be talked to, whistled to, sitting on my shoulder and cuddling into my chin, playinfg with my hair and ears
-watching tv while sitting on my sons shoulder
- eating
- being out of his cage with his humans
- climbing on bird cages, furniture
- my LAPTOP, he is crazy for it (but I dont let him do this in case he poops and I cant get it off keyboard)
Not a huge fan of bathing, I mist him and he is starting to accept it a little but he needs his bath, like all little kiddies.
I think Rory is also a girl cos he doesnt make many different noises and as he is 4mths old, I would have thought his vocab/vocalisations may have increased but, no. Have to start saying "she" I think
You are also aware that it can be very hard to sex a young tiel visually? Hopefully your breeder is very experienced with this area.

Cool! Turns out the breeder doesn't know the sex of the baby Tiel's. And I don't know how to whistle! :shock:

dont worry, I cant whistle either, but like all babys, Rory thinks I sound wonderful. Just sing silly songs, hum, whatever, s/he will love you anyways.
