Separation Anxiety
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2011 5:23 pm
Well I had to separate the one and only young
gouldian I have from it's parents.
The parents were chasing it away in the cage.
It's six weeks old and it has been out of the nest box for two weeks.
I have not seen the parents try to feed it since last Friday and it was refusing to take food from dad.
I wanted to leave it with mom and dad for a few more weeks
even though it is eating well on it's own.
The parents have other ideas, they want to be alone
and start nesting again.
Last night I saw that mom and dad were in the nest box
and the baby was out side.
I wish I had another young one to keep it company so
it wasn't alone in the cage.
