Introducing...CHEERIO!

[CrazyConure]

Yes, that's his official name.

Since you clicked on this thread, you get a spam of his photos from the day I got him, to right now!

Thanks for looking!

Awww, cute! Now for the questions from someone who hasn't had "inside" birds, but does have chickens.
Do you have a special food for when Cheerio is a chick and fledgling? We have starter feed for our chickens, and then they graduate to adult feed.
Do you have to monitor temperature? We have to keep the chicks at a certain temperature, then slowly lower it until we reach ambient temperature.
Cheerio is so colorful, and I am so ignorant about pet birds. What breed is he--parrot, budgie?
It would seem that Cheerio has found a great home, and I hope you have many happy years together!

 

[CrazyConure]

Yes. I have special baby food which I feed him from a syringe 3 times a day. He's starting to learn how to eat.

You do need to monitor temperature until they are fully feathered. My room isn't ever cold, so he is fine.

He is a lovebird, which is technically a parrot.

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it.

Oh my goodness. He is adorable. He looks so happy and curious. Lovebird or another conure, or are they the same thing?

I'm not a bird person either. Do birds go through a snotty challenging adolescent phase like dogs do?

I'm excited to follow his journey as he grows - I'm hoping you'll keep us updated with more pictures!

How cute and adorable!

I wish I could cuddle him like a puppy; he looks so small and lovely.

So precious I like the name Cheerio and it seems to suit him because he appears such a happy little bird and the peach face is starting to feather out. So sweet. I will look forward to photos/videos as he grows.

I forgot to ask you...does Cheerio make noises? What does he sound like?

Cute. I like the name.
