Hi everyone
I was hoping to chat with people who have a new baby quaker. I got Pigeon (Pidge for short) on 27th Dec. I think he was about 13 weeks old. He was fully fledged, weaned and hand raised. He's gorgeous but I know this is the time to teach him his manners. He is very social and loves visitors which I'm glad about because I mostly live alone but will need people to look after him when I am away.
I have trouble with him accidentally biting too hard and stealing letter keys from my computer (I'm getting a clear cover). He can step up automatically, he can also ladder but loses interest. I had visions of toilet training and harness training but realise now I may be too ambitious. I have hand reared a lorikeet who was so playful but this little fellow is not playful, he is a world class chewer. All the toys I bought him were not suitable and now I make my own toys.
Cheers
