We've ended our third day with Sydney. He's doing so well. He seems very comfortable with us and the dogs. I'm trying to be careful to not spoil him or do anything I can't continue.
When I got home from work, he started this noise. It's a cross between a squalk and a chirp. Almost sounds like a really loud hiccup. I asked my fiance, Jere, if he did that when he got home before me and he didn't.
I got him out of the cage, put him on the playgym in the kitchen, and gave him his dinner. He ate so well! We cooked dinner, ate, and did dishes, and Sydney stayed on the playgym and ate and preened.
Then I fed him his cream of wheat. My breeder has me feeding him some cr. of wheat with baby fruit in it with a spoon. She said it would help him bond to me.
Then I held him in my lap, cuddled in a towel for about a half an hour. Then at 9:00 I put him in the cage, and he started that squalking/chirping (for attention, I presume). He does it about every 3-5 minutes. After about 15 minutes, I covered the cage, and he played and moved about the inside for awhile, still making that noise, but now about every 10 min. (We were in the living room with him watching TV).
So, what do you think this means?
