Thank you SO much Andie, I will definatly start that tomorrow,
she/he has a honey bar in the cage which she loves shall I move
that out?
I love this little bird to bits, we always had budgies when I
was younger but my Dad done all the hard work I just reaped the
pleasure of having a very tame 'bestest' friend. I am off to
check out this site you recommended.
Thank you once again
