The red head now has a light blue ring around the red...can someone tell me what that means?

He's been singing a lot, so I'm sure that's right!

Thanks for your reply! I was freaking out because he is developing a tiny hole on each cheek~~I found out those are his ears!! What a relief!

Shows how much I know about birds. I hand fed this little guy--it's amazing he survived ! He's beautiful, but I couldn't figure out how to post his picture. So tame he sits on my shoulder while I am blow-drying my hair:)

Do you have any recommendations for vitamins/best food? He doesn't seem to like veggies/snacks~
Thank you!!

oomiedog Here is a link to how to post photos on the forum. For one thing, don't use the 'Quick Reply' button, it doesn't allow you to post photos. Use the 'Post Reply' button.
