Before we left for the ann arbor bird show my husband informed me "NO NEW BIRDS" I was content to just spoil the birds I have with new toys and treats. So what does he do, he falls in love with a 3 1/2 minth old blue and gold and comes to find me telling me I just have to see this bird. It's huge but I am open to interacting with her and was pretty surprised at how socal and sweet she was. Before we could purchase her we both had to handle her and that included put your finger in that huge beak to help support her well she perched on your arm. I was scared to death but she was as gentle as could be and he convinced me to bring her home. Most of the info on the net I am finding is pretty redundent. Someone told me at the show that she shouldnt have any wooden toys untill she is 6 months old..Is this true? I am also seeing they need  a higher fat diet then most and would like to know what foods I should feed to be good for her. She is on pretty bird select diet now and loves the birdy bread. I would like all the hints and advise I can get to raise this girl into a healthy bird. Her name is Gillian:)
