After 3 Months

Yesterday marked 3 months since I brought Ficho-Pricho home on St. Patrick's day. He is almost 5 months old now. We've seen quite a change from the timid little bird he was at first. Then and now:

He is super active now, manages to fly across the room even with wings clipped, and hops around on his play-stand like a finch. He is super chatty, and always tries to out-loud us when we speak. Loves the kisses and head rubs, and when he's on me he constantly touches my lips to kiss him back. :)

He is a good eater, even though he's still at just 40 grams! He started eating some pellets, but readily goes for his fruit/veggie bowl with apples, broccoli, peas, carrots corn bread, sweet potato, greens, sprouts,... Not a fan of berries yet, but will try them. Doesn't think peppers are food.

He is an avid chewer and toy destroyer. I pretty much have to replenish his balsa shredder once a week, wine toys are gone within days, and pine slats have good chunks missing, too. He's getting much better at foraging.

He loves to bathe in his water dish. He knows to hold down food and toys with his foot. Examines the tent every night before going in.

And here are also some videos of his "firsts", and how long after bringing him home he achieved those milestones.
First day of stepping up after 2.5 days.
First time out of the cage after 5 days.
First time "talking" with us aftert 6 days. (he was mute up to this point)
First head sratch after 10 days.
First foraging for toys after 2 weeks.
First foraging for food after 3 weeks.
First bath (outside of his water bowl) after 2 months.
First game after 2 months.

Little spoiled brat! :)
