Kacy Turns One Year Old
Monday, January 25th, 2010

Yesterday marks the day when Kacy, the Black Capped Conure was hatched. 24th January is an important date to remember, it’s Kacy’s “hatch-day”.

Months back when Kacy just joined the family, she was just a cute, helpless baby barely had any feathers on her body. Now, we are celebrating Kacy’s one year old “hatch-day”. She’s no longer the “naked” helpless baby we know, but an active, playful, smart and beautifully transformed little parrot!

Mum and I threw a mini “hatch-day” party for Kacy yesterday. It is a simple celebration, no fancy “hatch-day” decorations in around her cage, neither did we invite any of her feathered friends to celebration, but a celebration within the family.

Kacy Takes a Bath
Thursday, June 25th, 2009

The best part what I love about parrots is that I never ever had to chase them for bath time. With a dish of clean water, off they go for a bath! Most parrots (particularly species like lovebirds and conures) love to play with water, thus it’s hardly a problem to get them to go for a few dips.

Kacy loves playing with water. She can spend nearly 2-5 minutes happily playing and getting herself completely drenched! She enjoys that, but often left me with cumbersome chores of wipping tabletop and mopping the floor dry!

Hand Feeding Baby Kacy
Friday, May 29th, 2009

On my previous post, I shared about my unforgettable experience of raising Kacy and my opinions on hand-raising a baby parrot. Hand-feeding baby Kacy was indeed tiring but I truly enjoyed every session. It was really fun!

After viewing the video collection, did Baby Kacy melt you? Tempted to get a baby parrot?

Raising Baby Kacy
Thursday, May 28th, 2009

“Get a weaned parrot! Never get an unweaned chick!” These are words we always hear from experienced parrot owners.

These are good words of advice, because unweaned baby parrots are extremely delicate creature. Without ample knowledge and experience, any err in the hand-feeding procedure can lead to death of the chicks!

Although I do agree with the statement above, but it seems that I had never heed to it. Kiki, Kermit and now Kacy were unweaned babies when I got them. I hand-fed them and raised the 3 of them myself. I do know the risk of getting unweaned babies, but looking on the brighter side I get to witness them growing up, fledging and finally learned how to fly!

Raising Kacy was an incredible experience, simply indescribable. In fact, I felt very rewarding seeing her turning into a healthy beautiful queen! Seriously, I had never regret bringing her home unweaned!

Whenever I flipped through these pictures and viewing videos collections of her, it reminds me of the sweet memories and the hard-work I had undergone hand-raising Kacy. P.S. I do get quite emotional whenever I flipped through the album.

Kacy’s Exotic Taste Buds
Friday, May 15th, 2009

What makes Kacy so unique, neither because of her appearance, her special stints nor her unusual habits. It’s because she also has very unusual “exotic” taste buds!

Other than he usual favourites, sunflower, apples and pears, she craves for noodles and bee hoon (also known as rice vermicelli or rice noodles)! That’s definitely very unusual cravings for parrots, even Kermit and Kiki aren’t any die hard fans for noodles or rice vermicelli!
