Bubby is a pretty guy.

You better move him further away from those beautiful curtains or they won't be pretty much longer. Birds love to chew up curtains.

 

Your pics are nice but way too big. I bet you used up all of your free MSN picture space. Why don't you take them back into the pc and reduce them down to under 100 kb each. Sure would save you lots of space. You don't have to do this.  I'm just trying to help you with your available album space.

 

I used to have a sennie and he had been teased badly by a 3 year old. I never could calm him down. Poor little guy.

Oh, I did move them to the other side of the wall. Liz

Thank you for your comment. Your message about Senies character is so funny and cute. I do talk to him and repeat words he say and I love him very much. Apprecited. Will write soon. Take care.

BBS Liz hello

I've had Maxine my senie for 9 yrs. the only time she has ever bitten was due to illness/injury or a new bird coming into HER house (which is actually mine), however I had to have a friend watch her for almost a yr and she was with other birds and even made a friend of one of them (Gracie).  Has Bubba seen you giving attn (petting,preening,sweet talk, shoulder rides and the like)to your other bird for over a yr and You've not done it with him?  How on Earth would you feel if you moved and got treated that way?  It really is hard to introduce a new bird to The House, there's always a ruckus at first but everyone finds their place and calms down if all are treated equally. Bubba may never quit biting if he doesn't have a reason not to...love is always a good reason and they know when they're loved or when they're just being tolerated due to circumstance. Birds (all domesticated animals really) are like children, Bubba is a step child, who doesn't know where his mom & dad went or anything else that was familiar to him as a baby.  Treat him as such, you've already been given good advice by prior posters-all I can add is this 1) with biters use a wash cloth to cover them and prevent being bit, keep the cloth over them and hold them firm (not to tight,but secure) and treat them like your other bird- petting, preening, talking, etc. thru the cloth eventually the cloth will slide little by little and before u know it he will be fine without it and you can enjoy them together and they can enjoy each other...baby steps..consistant baby steps..  2) Is there dye in his food, this by some owners testimonies can turn any bird into a mood altering dingbat instead of a sweet bird.  My Maxie is the sweetest, but if I'm out of the house too long H2O gets slung evrywhere and she pitches a fit-but doesn't bite. 3) how do you discipline your birds?  I use a water bottle (small one for plants with adjustable nozel).  If you're scared of the cloth try this-using mist setting at 1st then stronger if needed (test on your face 1st though birds are tender and it doesn't take much) but be sure not in a cold setting! and teach the steps needed.  4) are u giving the bird tap h2o because the chlorine in it messes with their thyroid which causes some mood/behaviour problems...Max drinks distilled h2o from winn dixie even the fancy brands put the distilled h2o into the plastic jugs hot and then u can taste the plastic toxins emmitted by the jugs being heated.  that about sums it up for me and my wit n exp. Good Luck. let me know if Bubba turns into you're new best friend senie's are special ans most often sweet. Wynona101

Is the original poster still here?  I have a whole bunch of questions and comments, but not going to get into them unless I know you're still around.
