Jennie the Sennie 
DOB: 10/3/05 sex: she has not been DNA sexed, but the breeder insists she is female, so I'm
going with that, & since her name is Jennie, I'll probably never have her tested! came to us on: 1/5/06 from: breeder M Melia in Omaha, NE cost: $350 present diet: Kaytee brand fortified diet
about a week after I got her, I switched her seed diet to
Sun Seed Vita Parrot Mix 2/15/06 First Avian Vet Visit 2/15/06 She did amazingly well & I was very proud of her!
I forgot my camera at home tho 
She weighs111 grams & the vet says she seems very healthy!
I spoke to him about converting her to a pelleted diet & he approved of the outline
I am following. Also today was officially her first day out of approx 6 weeks quarantine! 2/15/06 Converting Jennie to a pelleted diet Her very first introduction to pellets & I must say I'm very pleased at how well she
took to them! I'm giving her Zupreem Natural for small parrots. I'll keep a bowl
always half full & will give her 1tablespoon of her seed mix in the mornings & again
in the evenings, & some veggies, pasta, beans, or something else at lunch time.
I'll continue with that for probably a week. I'm going by instructions I've read, but it seems like SO little seeds to be giving her,
compared to what she is used to getting! But I guess it's OK as long as she's
eating the pellets. 2/16/06 Oh Yikes! She doesn't seem to be eating the pellets nearly as well as she did
yesterday! I'll keep watching! 2/21/06 She's doing very well with her diet! She's actually a very good healthy eater all the
way around. She has no problem at all trying new foods I give her & really loves
her veggies. For her noon feedings, I've been giving her a mixture of cooked 17
beans & egg noodles mixed with frozen chopped veggies & she loves it!
Tomorrow I'll begin her second week of the conversion process & leave out her
morning ration of seeds. 2/24/06 We're now into our 2nd week of her conversion diet & she continues to do
very well with it. I'm now giving her a tablespoon of seed mix in the mornings & some
kind of fresh food in the late afternoon or early eve for supper, while keeping her
pellets always available.
