It's easy to say that I'm obviously not the only bird parent that is just nuts over my new child. His name is Green Bean. I got him about 5 months ago and I love him to death! I bought him for my daughter, but as time went on, he became more of my bird. It took him about a week to get adjusted to us; he made little to no noise. Then it happened. His chirpping, whistling, singing and other cute noises became non-stop entertainment for us. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that he wasn't as fiesty as usual and decided to take him to the vet. He did have a cold and was put on anti-biotics. He has since gotten over his cold, but now he doesn't sing and chirp like he used to. I miss his good-morning greetings of happiness. He comes around every once in a while. The vet assures me that he is ok and the change in behaviour is because he is molting (which he is, a little), and that he will pull out of it soon. I sure hope so. I am patiently waiting to hear all that cute, loud, wonderful noise that I got used to.
