Timmy

Alright here is a picture of the seemingly very tired "Timmy". So far he allows the wife to do the step-up with him. He allows me to get close and talk to him and bribe him with food, thats about it so far.

We re-arranged the house for Timmy. So I just found my cord for my camera/pc. So I messed up I should of took a picture of Timmy while he was playing on his bedroom (cage). Plus I used no flash, didnt want risk freaking him out. I will get a better one later :)





Timmy has his first doc appointment the 12th. Trins (yorkie) vet suggested a good one for Timmy. BTW my wife and I woke up at 5:30 this morning and Timmy said something, sounded like Hello, he really does sound like a ferbie :) So that early I couldnt swear by it. That what we both said it sounded like. Other then that he has squaked a few times.

I also did a stupid thing, I reached into his bedroom and asked him to step up. Well he let me know that was way to soon for me to barge into his bedroom. He drew a little blood, not purposely though. He has a very pointy beak. As well as he needs his nails/wings done.

Im aware its going to take time to win him over. Im definately in a rush for that to happen. However I am also patient enough to allow it to happen over time.

Timmy is beautiful! Congradulations!

Don't rush him. He will come around to you. Sounds like he is moving right in.

Awww...

What a Sweetie!!!
Timmy is adorable! Tired and maybe a little cranky, but adorable!

I have no doubt he will relax soon and you will all be able to bond properly. All the best!

Congratulations!! So Timmy was for real! I would have figured this for a scam. So glad you were able to get him. Best of luck!

My little girl Bella sounds like the Ferbie too, but I got a clear word...well if you consider it a sentance from her this morning. "Hi, Wha'cha doin?" Was heard as clear as crystal in a parrot voice.
