These two are proven, but I would prefer them go to seperate pet homes instead of a breeding situation. Both are SUCH sweethearts. I've been working with them a ton. Wasa, the male, is 9, and Nikki is 11. They have had clutches, but Nikki plucked Wasas tailfeathers out, so their last 3 clutches had been infertile. Now, just so you know, these are not my birds, I am just working with them and keeping them at my house for a friend, though, I know most everything about them. If my family didn't dislike them so much, I would be tempted to keep them. Wasa has a pretty good vocabulary, he says Wasa, I love you, Love you Wasa, Earthquake!, Buh bye, and a few others...We're teaching him to say more and more. Now, as for Nikki, she wouldn't utter a word before she got here, she had spent most of her time in the nestbox, only coming out to eat and drink. She was nearly bald when I recieved her, now most of her feathers are coming in nicely. Wasas tailfeathers are starting to come in as well. Nikki now wolf whisles and says "Wasa" and last night she said I love you...I"m so proud of her! I was beaming last night when she said that. These two have been through a lot, and I would like them to go to permanant homes if at all possible. And seperate homes, so they keep their pet qualities. I've had them seperated now, but in the same room, since the begining of April. THey are doing great, they eat a variety of foods, their favorites I'd have to say are noodles.
Nikki I think prefers apples though. At any rate, they still need work, as it's a long process coming from breeders back to complete pets...Nikki will not step up yet, but she'll step up onto a stick if she goes to the floor. Wasa steps up fine and will cuddle into your arm, but, from being a breeder bird, he is dominant if he gets above your head, so he cannot be on your shoulder, only on your forearm. They're asking $800 for Wasa and $600 for Nikki, or $1000 for the both of them, which is negotiable to the right home. If you take them both, there's one cage that's big enough for one of them too. We're willing to work out shipping if need be, or, one of the owners is going to KY the end of October, so could deliver along the way, or meet you somewhere. If there's any interest or you know of someone who'd be interested, please let me know. You can email me directly at [email protected] or post a message here on the site
Thanks!
