dam =/ i really hope he will eat them one day and i do offer it to him. it took a little while for him to even try millet but now he loves it =p

i think training decreased tremendously for some reason o-0 i really got aggravated today. when i open his cage w/out even putting my hand into the cage ziggy jumps and climbs to the back top of the cage and wont come down to the perch for a little while..... tisk tisk anyone has any ideas? i still sit there and talk to him and he listens iidk what happened that even be4 i put my hand in the cage he gets scared.

Possibly your mood in general on this particular day. Or birdie could have heard someone yelling or argueing etc? I wish we could know for sure what is in their little minds!

true iidk i think it was during the night i was sleepin some magicly way woke up and at like 6:45 i was about to fall back asleep and all of a sudden i hear him fly around in the cage like he was scared or something but my mom nor brother comes into my rooom during the night iidk i turned the light on for him

He probably had a little night fright.Do you leave a nite lite on so he's not in total darkness? And leave part of the front of his cage uncovered. At least it helps mine
Also try not to get discouraged if he seems kind of trusting one day and might even step up..at least 1 foot LOL And then the next day he scurries away to the back of the cage. It happens. One step forward 2 steps back. But be patient and still talk to him like you do.He'll come around again
Here's a link to another thread about pellets that might help..and somewhere in there there is also another link to more switching to pellets info http://www.wineintro.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=386428&page=3

thnx suns i read through both links and i hope it works where i crush the pellets up and sprinkle it over the seeds. another quick question i should only give them millet once a month?? o-0

Millet is supposed to be more of a treat than a daily staple. But if you don't give too much at a time I think it's ok to give more than once a month.
I know it's probably not the best thing, but I actually give each of mine about a 1/2 inch piece(depending on how fat the millet spray is) every night as a night night treat. They've come to expect it and even tho I don't give them alot they love it
Geesh it took Levi months to even TRY millet! LOL They don't seem to be getting fat.

lol i put a small piece in ziggys food cup and like 2 days he tried it quickly but when i hung it from the thing inside the cage he nibbled it once and quickly moved away lol.

is their a certain color the cover should be because when i take this one off today he seems pretty scared of it..


when i turn music on and he chirps is this good?

LOL Millet Monster!!!

I don't think it matters what color the cover is. Just cover and uncover slowly and tell him what you're doing as you're doing it.

Music is great! They love music. And after a while you will get to know what kind of music they like best by the way they react to it. Chirping along nicely..or aaack aaack I hate that!!! LOL
It's good to leave music or tv on for them when you're not home with them.
