Im just sharing a minor breakthrough but it has made my day. Neither Eric or Ernie ever ate anything out of our hands. They would just run away, we used to just clip their favourite spinach to a clip and they would squabble over it until there was nothing left. I have been working hard to spend as much time with Eric this week since Ernie's passing and tonight he ate a piece of spinach out of my hand!!! My hard work is paying off. I'm so happy I could burst.  |

I'm sorry, helenmat; I had missed this. It is a warm fuzzy feeling when they decide to trust you just that little bit more. |

Hes ok Marianne Marlow, he still doesn't come out as much as he used to. I have to get him out and then he will only stay out for a few minutes. When they were both here they were never in. He is chirpy enough, chirping and generally making a racket. I try and spent as much time playing with him as possible and I always hand feed him his greens now instead of putting them on his clip. He doesn't seem to play with toys much either. But then he never did unless Ernie wanted to play with it. I leave the radio on all day. He definitely misses his pal, bless him, he's never known life without him, they hatched together. |
