Feels like forever ago that I was able to post on this board. Things have been crazy but I thought I would let you know all about the little guy that has changed my life. His name is Turkey and he hatched on March 30 2008 in my house. Unfortunately, he was the only one in his clutch of 5 that survived. Mom decided that she didn't want to take care of them so he became my baby after only a week of life. It was tough going in the beginning but he has thrived and I have never known a bond like this. Any way here are some pictures. Are you my momma?? snuggling up with his giraffe. I can stand all by myself!!! Yes, I am a messy eater and, preen myself Have a great day!!! Here are the most recent pics. Turkey and his ball... Funny Cheeks..... I am so Sweet.... What is that up there??!? la la la what a LONG tail!! and now for the videos: Turkey Ball so amazed by little things Camera Hog He does this every time the camera comes out. He is so in love with himself and the camera!! Hope you like him. Updates are sure to come. ~Melissa

He is a beautiful bird! Pity about the wing cut. He's lovely, clever little birdie. It is a shame about his wings being cut. I hate wings being cut, poor little bird. No offence to you, just a personal soap box. Billie xx

Handraising budgies is easy - as long as you don't attempt it too young. I wouldn't consider it before they start to feather. Although sometimes you don't have a choice but to take them younger.

Turkey is so sweet, it is great to see them grow from a hatchling to young bird (not sure what they are called at that age). I miss my little Norton. Cherish every minute with Turkey. He is BEAUTIFUL!
