Rose and I hand fed 2 baby blue Quakers that were being fostered by a pair of Tiels.
One had splayed legs, the leg issue was addressed and we took turns hand feeding these two baby's.
Well they grew and we returned them to a friend of ours.
Now it seems one of these birds has returned to our friend, Sooooo I told Rose I want our baby back, That little bird will come home Rose Ann......
Hopefully this week end.
Here's a picture of Rose feeding the babies, apparently the little one that is eating is the one coming home, that was 4 years ago

Looking forward to hearing about your reunion. Can't wait to see pics!

Bless his little heart! I know he will be so glad to see you two!

Well....I errored.....we kept the little blue Quaker with the splay legs.....I named him....little blue.
His legs came out fine, then the saddest morning came.
I went to get little blue for breakfast, he stepped right up, I walked to the kitchen and placed him on the perch, sat down to eat, and away he flew.....his first and only flight....I found him with a broken neck...and yelled for Rose Ann...
Little Blue died within seconds.....
This is why I am so set in my ways concerning wing clipping....
We raised these 2 from itty bitties.....The tears that fell.......
I started a thread not long ago....Moderation in your birds diet...meat was an issue....I read someones reply....why risk giving your bird meat....WHY RISK YOUR BIRDS LIFE BY NOT CLIPPING HIS/HERS WINGS...I think the same principle applies....
Anyways.....here's one of the baby's sitting on Rose Anns lap

And water bottle training.

Now.....I am going to do all I can to get that little one (orphaned) back home here where she belongs....

How bitter sweet.
Can't wait to see pics!

Oh Arty and Rose! I am sorry to hear that you all had to suffer that. There is nothing sadder than a little, dead bird. But God's eye is on them!
