Okay all is well here we had a great visit from the vet and learned a few things, first off Rascal the Nanday, is very healthy no problems at all and he has become very attached to my oldest daughter which is great for us!
now on to Starburst the sun, he is not as old as we were told, the vet said there is no way he is 8 mos. old, he was suprised that he was able to eat the seed mix, he thinks he wasn't weaned all the way because he still does the head bob and all so he showed me how to feed him some formula from a spoon,( I already tried the syringe but he wouldn't take it at all) He is doing well with the spoon and we do it first thing in the morning.
They are offically moved to the living room with Bubba, he actually suprised me because he dosen't mind if we hold one of them as long as he is included in the mix, he has been great with them all being out of their cages at the same time, they explore each others houses but go back to their own, I did take your advice and seperate the coures, it was abit loud at first but now they don't mind!

Now on to the best part! It has always been my husbands dream to have a Blue and Gold Macaw, we have been looking for one even before we got bubba, well while we were at the vet they were talking and that subject came up and I have a friend who owns a small pet store and she had called me and said I could take the one she has now at 7 weeks old and continue feeding him but I really don't want to hand feed if I don't have to!, so my vet called me yesterday and told me that one of the breeders he knew had some babies that were ready to go and he had just given them the okay to let them go to new homes, so I called them and went to look at the babies and I fell in love!
So now I am loving this little big guy, we named him Champ! he was hatched April 28, he is very sweet and loving to everyone so far.
so I will take any advice on training tips from any of you that have a B&G!
Thanks again
