Its been way too long....

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??

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.

beautiful birdie you have there. id love to hand rear one but dont think id manage it.

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.

I love the first picture ..... he is soooooo cute.
Well done you for raising him.

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!
