So, I'm changing Bubbles "qualifier" from Annihilator to Regurgitator. The birdie loves to feed things. Spiral never did this, so I'm kind of checking the "normalcy" of this with ya'll, as well as asking for ideas to minimize it. For a bit he was feeding Grant's big toe in socks. I finally figured out that when Grant wiggled his toe at Bubs, it looked like the "bobbing" before regurgitation, so now Grant's toe must lie still while Bubbles furiously attacks it in efforts to get a reaction. Breaking up is hard to do.
He has fed his jingle ball cat toy, but only twice. Tonight was my gag moment. Alex has been visiting his grandma and cousins since Monday. Tonight he called to FaceTime, so I had Bubbles "answer." Upon seeing Alex on the phone screen, I guess Bubbles felt he was looking a bit thin, because he promptly presented Alex with a meal-all over me and the phone:blink:.
I read that covering him for 11-12 hours at night helps, so we've been doing that. He is just the most loving, sweetest little birdie, and we want him to be happy! He is out of his cage much of the day, and pretty much has the run of our living room and sun room. He gets lots of toys, foods, and exercise. We are careful to only scritch his head, never his wings or body. Is there anything else we should/shouldn't be doing? Thank you! Also, if this is the "worst" thing we deal with, we'll be A-OK:biggrin1:
