Mum to myself

Woohoo the weekend is nearly here, I will have mum all to myself for 2 whole days. hopefully it will be sunny and we can sit outside in the garden and I can go in my aviary.

Damn Weight Gain

Darn it, I have put back 7 grams of the 10 I had lost.... gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr mum is a little angry with herself at this point. she needs to put me back on my diet and stick to it, even if this means I bite her, it has to be done for my own good and for the sake of my health. good luck mum

Summers finally here

Mum and I spent all of Sunday out in the garden in the aviary, Finally I get to use it agian. I had such a good time watching all the other birdies outside and the fresh air was amazing, mum says it makes me smell so nice and birdie like. hmmm mad woman.

10 lost and 5 back on grrrrrr

I can't believe it, I lost all the 10 grams I was supposed to lose and today mum weighed me and I have put on 5 grams... where the poopies did they come from??? OK mum figures that when I was on the diet I was attacking and biting her because she stopped doing a lot of training with me as the training was done with food bits as training treats, which is why I put on weight. but over the past 4 days sinse losing the 10 grams mum has started training me again and that is why I have put on the 5 grams. She is in a dilemma (or as I call it a DIMELLA) to lose weight means no training cos the treats are making me gain weight, but that means I get bored and attack mum and mums face and hands get ripped apart????, OR train me and give me the training treats and have her face and hands intact, but that means I gain weight???? grrrrr OH WHAT TO DO????

Finally I'm Eating Harrisons pellets

OK So mum has been trying to get me to eat Harrisons pellets now for ages, she has tried the fine ones because I am so small, she has tried the coarse ones cut up for me and she has tried a mix of both added to my regular food, BUT I AM HAVING NONE OF IT….UNTIL two days ago, mum read that ginger spice, cinnamon spice and cayenne spice, are all good spices for birdies and she has all three in the cupboard, so she got a bright idea….

1 - get 2-3 blocks of Harrisons coarse and put in little bowl

2 - add a little of all 3 spices mentioned above
3 - add enough water to make a runny but not too runny paste once the Harrisons have been crushed
4 – using a spoon feed it to me….

Result YUMMY, I love it and I am now eating Harrisons pellets, good for me and apparently these spices do good things for my tummy and body… check it out here

Mum all to myself

Oh what a fab few days, I had mum all to myself for 4 full days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday because she was on holiday, I didn’t bite her face once either, actually I didn’t bite any other part of her either, she has worked out how to get me to not bite her face, and this is how she did it..... Mum files my beak with a little file which has a black handle, I do not like it very much for obvious reasons, so mum has worked out that if she walks around holding the file by the handle between her teeth I do not go anywhere near her face (mum looks silly, but only needs to do this when I am going to be near her for long periods of time, otherwise she just has it on the chair next to her or on her lap or in her hand). She will carry on doing this until I calm down and settle back into my normal ways. Clever mum

Being Loving

I have been a good boy for mum over the past 2 days, I have not bitten her or attacked anything. the air has been nice and cool tho, the sun is out today and it is warm so I wonder if I will be biting cos I am misesrable with the heat. I much prefer the winter... that is when I become more cuddly.

Sick Mummy

Mum was awfully ill yesterday, she had the same thing as last year when she wound up in hospital for 5 nights because they couldnt figure out what the problem was. This time mum called the out of hours Doctor and he figured it out immediatley Mum has viral labyrinthitis vertigo and she will not have to go into hospital this time (shew, I didnt like being without mum for 5 days and nights last year). And the nice Doctor gave her something to make the room stop spinning and hold the world still, mum has stopped falling over now and is lying on the couch with me, and I am being very nice and cuddly on her hand... poor mum, I will have to wiat until she is better to bit her again.... ;)

Im in a biting mood lately

Poor mum is being eaten alive, I can't seem to snap out of this misserable mood that I am in, I think maybe it is due to this strange weather, I hope I get over it soon, mums face and hands are being attacked... this is just not like me at all. also the scales were odd today, how on earth could i have put on 3 grams in one day, I barely ate yesterday. Mum must not get pizza tonight, I can not afford to gain more weight, I had just reached my goal and now I am up 3 grams... ggggrrrrr

CONGRATULATIONS TO ME!!!

WOOHOO!!! I have finally lost all 10 grams the vet wanted me to lose, I finally weighed in at 122 grams this morning, down from 132 grams. I also find myself flying around a lot more than I used to, and I am running around on top of my cage more. Mum says she is very proud of me, it took 2 months but we did it properly and slowly, no crash diets here... OK so now I have reached my goal of 122 grams, Mum would like me to go down to 116 grams if possible and stay around there, she says I was at my best before when I was that weight, not too skinny and not too chunky... that is another 6 grams to lose. We will take it slow and hopefully we will get there within the next couple of months. I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF
