Hey guys,
I've introduced myself in introductions already and have been looking around for more information but am figuring it might be easier to post something specific to me and my bird. I wish I could say him/her or even go by its name, but we're still waiting on the sex results We have a name chosen for either sex.
We've had him/her since August 26th. We are currently feeding our Quaker a small amount of Abba 1600. The 1200 wasn't working out so the vet recommended the 1600. We're also feeding it Harrison high potency fine. We're having a hard time getting it to eat the Harrison, so we're turning it in to a porridge mixed with a little bit of Abba greens. We've tried mixing some fruit with it, but it won't usually eat it when we do that.
Also, our Quaker is fairly well behaved from what we've been told. It'll step up, but is stubborn sometimes which we expected. We usually try to feed it the porridge 2 times a day. We also bring it out to play with it's out of cage toys, sit on our shoulders (when we allow it) and experience the kitty cats (they are more curious than the bird). We have a small apartment, but try to take it to different areas of the house so it doesn't get bored. We talk to it as much as we can. We say hello, goodbye, I love you and just normal chatting.
I'm just wondering.. now what? What do we do next? What should we be teaching it and how do we go about it? And if you have any suggestions on how to get our Quaker to eat more Harrison, it would be greatly appreciated.
**I just realized I should have made 2 posts in 2 different sections, so uh oops!
