Reply With QuoteBiscotti and his never ending paperwork!
Hi everyone, Biscotti has been home 1 week now and I have to say I am completely in love!He is a really sweet cuddle bug, loves to be petted & cuddle under my neck. He has scared the H* out of me with his flying, quite the little kamikazee pilot! He is doing much better with the flying but the landings are still pretty bad. I am so worried he is going to hurt himself!
He does choose to fly to me & land on my arm most of the time now, I hope he will keep that up.
I have been weighing him & he did lose a few grams, I figure that is because he is getting alot more time out of his cage to exercise. He seems very happy & healthy.
Here are a few pictures from our first week together.

He is a beautiful baby Grey!!
He will learn his landings with a little more practice. It's good that you are having him target your arm and he is hitting it. :-)
Losing a little weight is normal, especially when they are fledging as he is. They intentionally reduce how much they eat to make flight easier.
It sounds like all is going well. Thanks for the update and photos. :-)
Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O.

Poor wet baby after a sink "shower" ! Mom had to cuddle him in a towel!

He is so precious looking, absolutely adorable, no wonder you are so proud of him.
He will get his landings down perfect soon, he is doing just fine and will be showing you what he can really do in no time.
Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.
Never take life seriously, no one gets out alive anyway!
Biscotti certainly is a cutie. He'll be an Ace flyer in no time. Thanks for the update on your sweet baby!

Biscotti is a beautiful bird! I thinking the name is very fitting...sweet and tough:P
LOL, Sephora is doing the same kamikaze pilot thing and it is scary! I need to work on her targeting my arm as she currently targets my head...thanks for sharing the pics!I'm glad he is settling in well
Dan is right about the weight loss. Schroeder was 361g when I brought him home (a fat little baby timmy) and he lost about 20g at first. After his wingg grew out and he was actually flying around and excercising, he dropped down to a very muscular 325g. The vet said he is healthy and buff. I havee seen congos lose as much as 65g from ween to flying weight.
