He's alright BB. Still nervous and making peeping noises. He needs to get used to us not grabbing him I think.

He's still very nervous.We tried to get him to go in with Jerry and Roswell last night because Hector and Abbie were pecking at him (they are a couple) but he just froze with fear and made scared peeping noises continuously.

How to soothe the savage Blueboy? - tried camomile tea, calming music, covering the cage, talking to him calmly.

Any other ideas or herbal remedies??

I don't know what you could do about that, Marianne. Besides provide him with a calm enviroment (a bit hard with 8 others). I wonder if he would be better on his own, or has he bonded with any of the others? Can he have a space with just his special friend, perhaps? Or a little cage of his own? I know these are not really probable in a unit but just trying to provide some ideas.

He is such a pretty boy, and looking healthy enough in this photo, too.

Update on Blueboy. He now sleeps in the same cage as Roswell and Jerry and has been a lot quieter and calmer during the night. Less little peeps and neck-stretching.

Hector and Abbie were pecking at him (they are a couple and he kept wanting Hector to feed him which was not popular) so I decided he had to be moved.

I give Roswell, Blueboy and Jerry a couple of small bits of millet each night and they share them quite happily together. It's progress of a sort.

He even sang for a brief moment yesterday and he has not done that for months!

I really hope he has found a space in your flock where he can fit in and not be the odd one out (know THAT feeling!) That is definitely progress! Poor little man.

It was a wonderful sound, I thought it was one of the others at first but it was definitely him. It was only about 10 seconds but yes it was wonderful

I hope he has found somewhere to fit in too.

I actually haven't seen him do it for a while so they must be helping. I hadn't thought about that
