Is there hope?

[Cricket24]

She is looking wonderful!

Thank you.
She doesn't preen her feathers much, especially her tail. So she's looking a bit scruffy.
She did attempt a bath which was pretty funny!
Weaning is taking a long time. She is starting to refuse the formula but not eating enough to cut out the middle feed.
She has started to bite me pretty hard but i think she's just working out she has a beak.

Wow, those shades of blue and blue-green are stunning! Hope she figures out "normal" food soon enough.

Thank you. I am so happy she is ok. She still has some pins on the back of her neck but otherwise she is fully feathered.
I must admit- when she was tiny, i did take a fair few days off work because i didn't want anyone else feeding her... lucky i only work on weekends!

Hi guys, this is our last post. Cricket is 11wks old tomorrow. Fully weaned and looking sooo good. She is very cheeky and loves to be with me all the time.
Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement.

 

[MommyBird]

such a sweet beauty.
I hope you'll let us know what cheeky things she gets in to from time to time.
I'm glad she is staying with you (and us)!
