Toby
Our Latest Addition to the Family

|
| Toby came to us in March, 1999. The family
he was living with was moving, and they could not take him with them. We were lucky
enough to be able to welcome him into our home. He was hatched in 1996, and is a
Texas born Quaker. (Both Nub and Bogey
are Okies) |

Toby loves his toy balls. His latest trick is to carry the
ball to the top of the playgym, then grab the ball with his foot and shake it over his
head. I am always laughing too hard to capture that one, but I am trying to keep the
camera handy for a good shot..

Toby is still getting to know
the other birds. At a recent Quaker get together, we actually had 11 Quakers on one
playgym. The birds all loved the interaction. I wonder what Toby must have
thought, being in a new home, and having that many guests.
He had been plucking his legs and neck when he first got here, but the feathers are
growing back, and I have not seen any more signs of plucking.
I will be adding more photos of Toby as I take them.
