Hi everyone just a quick update on Sprocket. He has had his first trip outdoors into the garden. I put his cage under the apple tree in the shade and cool and sat with him for about two hours. He was very quiet at first but soon relaxed and started playing and bouncing round the cage. He loved...

Hi Lorna I have gradually been intruducing fresh food as the people I got him from said he just ate seed🙄 he likes the sugar snap peas and loves broccoli. I have introduced grated carrot sweetcorn (fresh) spinach and dandelion leaves. All in very small amounts. He seems to enjoy them all but...

Thank you he is a real sweetie. Sprocket loves foraging too. Have you found any parrot mix that suits him I find that the mixes with dried sweetcorn are rock hard and the peanuts are too big for him. I have found one brand which he likes but it has big flat white nuts in which he doesn't like...

Hi Wendy and Dora Thank you for the kind welcome. I think we are the lucky ones to have found him he is a special little bird

Thank you. Any progress that we have made is really due to him being such a special little chap.

Thank you she is a beautiful little bird

Hi Everyone I have been trying to upload a picture of sprocket but can't figure it out am totally thick where technology is concerned 🙄. Will keep trying. I think she is a female as she has a blue ring on her left leg but am not experienced enough to say definately Thanks Karen

Hi Andrew Thank you for your advice. Yes she is much stronger now. I have put cuttlefish bone in the cage as well as a mineral block but have read that kaks may need calcium adding to the diet so will look at this. She is losing a few feathers a day. I was just worried about her getting cold...

I rescued my bird about two months ago and have been introducing new foods a better seed mix and egg and fruit. Sprocket has settled in very well and is such a character. I think it is a female although I was told it was a male. Her feathers were in a terrible condition but are improving...
