    "We are big kids now!" Little Romos and Bandit's first day trying bird seed...

    Little Romos is a bit more into the seed having figured out it's food. Bandit is trying to figure it out what these things are. Excuse Bandit's messy face by the way, I haven't bathed him yet and he had just finished taking his formula. They get baths pretty much every day because they are both such messy eaters and the formula dries fast to their feathers. I'll be glad when they are eating on their own full time. This mother bird gig is for the birds! ; )

    Bandit after his bath. He would not look at the camera, lol I think he was pouting.

    Still working on balance. Yup, he fell off, lol

    Ready for a nap now.

    A few more days and they should be flying. They've been exercising their wings as Little Romos is doing here:

    I am proud but I'm tired of being mama bird. Little Romos is getting too feisty too. He's a biter 0.0

    Should we send in donations? Little Romos is going to break you...........

    Colleen

    Moderator
    I may need donations to get him a prosthetic foot, poor guy.

    Does he have a stump to balance on at least?
    Colleen

    Moderator
    Yes, he had a stump. Seems it's tender to walk on though as he holds it up a lot after using it.
    jhharlan

    It'll callous up, my brother's did.....
    Colleen

    Moderator
    Hopefully it will. He's using what is the back of the lower section of his leg as a foot. Has to be sore.
    jhharlan

    He'll no longer notice given time enough.....

    Not quite. Another week or two. They still have to make their first flight ;)

    Beautiful Colourful little animals, cute..

    Very cool pics Colleen, My sister used to do on a hot summer day was to put Jill out (our bird) with a water hose running slowly on the bottom of her cage. Jill just loved that and would play for hours.

    LOL, they get a bath a day which they are not overly fond of. I don't think they are going to be impressed with water in the future.
    Ed1530


    LOL
    She also had two cats and when it was time to feed them, she would call them by saying “here kitty- kitty”. Well I guess the bird heard that one too many times and started to say “here kitty – kitty” over and over again. Wasn’t funny to my sister but everyone else thought it was.
    Colleen

    Moderator
    That would be hilarious! Birds calling the cat! 00

    WOW . They are growing up very fast good pictures .Full time job for you COLLEEN ? But anyone can see you love it Thanks again

    Keep it up and I'll send the skirt man after you.
    doolittle

    Well, seeing as he's given me 12 or so rainchecks you can send him-He owes me a few ales!! But if any of his fleamily stick around after he leaves I'm sending them up to live with you!
    Colleen

    No problem, I have frontline :)
    ROMOS

    My Fleamily have total immunity to all Frontline products.
    BEWARE!
    doolittle

    I just tell the fleas to leave all of my animals alone...but somehow I think KOTF's fleamily might have a bit of a Scottish stubborn streak in them! See. I rest my case.

    I have explosives.
    doolittle

    I want to see fleas explode!!! Oh dear, that was my evil twin "Dont".
    Colleen

    Moderator
    lmao! They more sound like, snap crackle, pop! They're too little to make a boom sound when they explode :)
    ROMOS

    EXPLODE??? Doo???
    Are you feeling OK???
    doolittle

    Doo is fine..every once in a while my evil twin comes out to play. She's locked in the trunk again- no worries.

    They are growing up so fast! Wonder why it's no surprise ROMOS figured out the food thing so fast!

    He also has a little sh!t attitude. He likes to bite.
    Bob/PKB

    That isn't nice. How do you deal with behavior like in a bird?
    Colleen

    Moderator
    Blow hard in his face and say "no" sharply each time he bites. Birds don't like that (the blowing in their face).
    Bob/PKB

    Good to know (not that I encounter biting birds every day).
    dowsa

    MEN DON`T LIKE IT AS WELL "BLOWING INDEED HUH !

    Nothing sweeter than a Mom and her babies. Enjoy them and as always thanks so much for sharing all the wonderful pics with all of us. Good job Mommy Colleen!
