It seems.............................

It seems Blueberry is becoming an independent bird now that she is getting older. she will be 2 months old on September 5. She no longer snuggles or wants to be held anymore. I suppose it was bound to happen seeing she is a Sparrow, and probably has wild instincts in her. I never thought this would happen seeing we had Blueberry from the first day of her life and also hand fed her. She will still fly and sit on my arm and my shoulder, but that is all. She doesn't like to be held. I will still always let her out to play in her sand box and play area but will only offer food in her cage. Its one way to lure her back to the safety of her cage. I know she is molting and I have read on the internet that this is a very stressful time for birds. Hopefully whenever she is done molting, she will be a little more calm and more tame. We'll see how things go. For now I will enjoy having her in the house knowing she is alive and safe.

Having a wonderful life!

Blueberry is having a wonderful life! He has traveled to my work place so the residents could meet Blueberry. They all had a great time visitig and holding Blueberry. They were so amazed to see how fast he has grown. He has recently gottten another shipment of food, toys and treats to add his growing collection. I am thinking Blueberry needs his own toy box. We are now able to have Blueberry out more during the day to spend time with the family and play either in his sandbox or play area in the living room. The other day Blueberry figured out how to get out of the cage when the doors are closed. I haven't witnessed this event as of yet, but I do make sure I lock his doors with twistie ties, when I leave home. He has also been weaned from his formula for almost one week. That was a little rough on Blueberry. He will still do his baby flutters and bug me for his formula. Boy can he get nasty because I am not giving in. I am hoping he will soon forget about it seeing he has some real tasty food and treats to eat.

I am now starting to rethink that maybe Blueberry is a female Sparrow instead of a male. I have read that the juveniles and females look the same until after the first molting. Blueberry has been losing some feathers so hopefully he will go through the molting and then I will finally know for if Blueberry is male or female.
