I haven’t been updating on the lovebirds and so to summarize. Bluey has recovered from her toe injury and has been doing well. Greenbean proved that perseverance worked and he finally won Bluey’s heart (the other side of the story is that Bluey got horny and gave in) and they actually started a family… or at least tried to. Bluey laid 4 eggs in total but only 1 egg managed to hatch and what better to name the little lovebird than Uno!

Uno is here in my house this week because she is just short of 3 weeks old and needs to be hand fed 4-5 times a day to ensure that her cut tummy is satisfied and she becomes tame from all the human handling.

The picture above either makes people squeal in delight or disgust so bear with me if you belong to the latter group.

It is by no means an easy feat to hand feed baby lovebirds with her being so young. Bluey was already close to 4 weeks old when we got her and we only need to feed her 2 times a day. Uno was robbed extracted from the nest at 14 days old and needs to be fed 5-6 times a day. Her baby formula has to be also at the right temperature at 41 to 42°C. Too cold and she’ll refuse to eat it; too hot and I’ll cook her inside out.

Uno is quite travelled for her young age and has been staying at Ang Mo Kio, went to Rasa Sentosa Resort for a stay over the weekend and is now residing at Jurong West for the week. So to make her feel more at home, I made a little tent for her.

 

Like the last time when I had Bluey over for 4 days, I just hope I keep little Uno alive so that KuKuNehNeh keeps me alive.

HUAT AHHHHH!!!!
