fhgwgads So the fatty female has big ginormous poops much like herself lol. she is fine... forum users said that it probably has things to do with their diet. it looks like mice poop thickness but longer :shock: HOW do you manage to poop THAT out of your little butt.. well, no shes got a juicy booty but still its ... doesn't make sense lol.
speaking of derpy.
my female loves bathing like I guess all soc's do... her mouth literally hangs down like VERY DERPY like shes so awesomed out that there is water for her to bath in. She looks at it and her jaw is hanging down, she looks so funny. She is strange..

You should get new pictures of the baby he must look so cute! little fluff ping pong ball! I want one so bad. & yes you'd better name him.. LOL SPARROW works out just fine.

LOL 8-} we are so BAD i know.. it's only cause we care so much for them!!!!! you should see me with my daughter.. she hardly cries but the other day she was crying.. and post cry she was hot (cause thats what happens lol) I was telling my husband "OMG shes burning up shes sick!" then "lethargic" so untrue she was tired LOL. with animals its even worse they don't talk.. I get worried that they don't nap together "omg, she going to PLUCK his feathers out" - shes meaner than he is but with all that dancing around he does too.. hes lucky hes a bird cause youd totally get annoyed if he were human.. a few slaps for sure 8-| oh please..

it's getting better? you sure? LOL

Late last night, after i went to bed... I saw the kitchen lights turn on.. god I was furious!!!!!! I texted him "..... kitchen... LIGHTS don't do that!!!!"
he said "i know i know, im sorry!"
then i texted him back "they are smaller than Stewie so if they bash into things from being scared THEY WILL DIE!"

death comes hand in hand with my birds, much like yours lol... it'll be the boy who cried wolf.. I will tell you mine died and youd be like "yeahhhh right... youre funny! :)) "

chirpy My girl right now has the biggest poops on the planet! But I think it's because she poops like once a day because she is always in the nest... either that or she is dying. My girl is pretty good though... my boy was literally dancing at her every day and she was just like ^^ OKAY! She is very laid back. That is hilarious about your girl and the bathing! Lol... my girl makes the biggest mess when she bathes probably because she is so much fatter than my boy. He will jump in and out a few times but he prefers to bathe by sticking his head in the water bowl and trying to splash the water onto his back while simultaneously falling off the thing.

And ok... it's official.. his name is Sparrow... because I think there's 2 babies in the nest now :shock: Now I am not so sure it's better! Don't get me started! LOL.. if I end up with 2 more one-eyed babies I will.. I don't even know what I will do! But hopefully we will ALL survive another day!

chirpy LOL! No they don't seem to smell... they were orange at one point when I thought she was dying but them seem to be ok now! And Baby adapted amazingly.. he flies better than his parents. I mean Sparrow! Lol... but the second he came out of the nest he was flying amazingly.. and he actually got out of the cage 3 times and flew amazingly around the house.. he banged into a few things lightly but he survived.. so he's good! He is of course more cautious.. and doesn't fly from side to side of the cage like his Dad does, clinging to the bars and all.. but he really knows his way around. It's so weird too because sometimes he will look at me with his non-eye and not his eye so I think he has an invisible eye, LOL!

I don't know if my girl floats I am too afraid to give them more than 1/2 an inch of water because they might drown!!! 8-| lol
