Kiki, the handfed Gouldian

Post by Sandra » Fri May 22, 2015 5:06 pm

I was a little hesitant to post this on here, as I am no professional and I had a few people helping me out to raise Kiki. Kiki is almost 6 months old and doing very well. She is still as tamed as she was before.

So I did this 4min video of Kiki. Pictures dated from her egg stage up until she finished moulting. This video is only available from PC or laptop due to copyright of the song that I chose. As I said this is only my personal data, the pictures are all Kiki's.

I hope you enjoy this little video! I hear you have to close the ad window to be able to read.

I love, love, love that video! You did a great job with this little girl, and I am so impressed with your records--weights recorded, progress recorded. Isn't it just the most wonderful feeling to raise one yourself?!
