UPDATE 2/16/05 Here is a report from Bob's new Mom: Bob has had a name change ó we now call him Toquinho. He is named after a well known Brazilian composer. Toquinho is just adorable and doing well. He has learned a new whistle and loves to walk around the house!! We took him to the vet and had to extend the quarantine for another month because he had some bacterial infections. He still needs to receive medication. But in January, we introduced him to Benito. The boys now live in the same room but in separate cages. They haven't warmed up to each other yet but are on civil terms. Toquinho has also transitioned to Harrison's pellets and is learning that baths will now be a part of his daily routine. He is growing much more accustomed to being around people. He's a very sweet bird and we are so happy that he is a part of our family. Do you know how many people let their cockatiels fly away? Well, neither do I, but I bet it is a lot. That's how I ended up a Mickaboo bird. I'm Bob, a cockatiel who was lost in the cruel world. I enjoy being out of my cage, but that was too much freedom for this bird. Iím not used to being handled (yet), but I'm a sweet, mellow guy who could learn to be your good friend. Iím not afraid of you humans; I just don't have experience with hands. Sometimes I threaten to bite them, but it is mostly bluffing, I confess. Right now, Iím trying to get my "bird buddy" toy to skritch my neck, and it just won't cooperate. If you could show me that you are a good neck skritcher, I might learn to appreciate those hands. I also would like to be friends with a receptive cockatiel or two. I'm flexible. All I need is the right person to give me a life-time home, to teach me, and be patient with me--and Bob's your uncle, or in this case your cockatiel. Notice: Cockatiels are flock animals, and most of them are much happier when they live with at least one other cockatiel! Because of this, unless a household currently includes another cockatiel, Mickaboo usually requires that a minimum of two cockatiels be adopted. Print this page |
