Today Oscar was being very chatty while I was listening to some music.

He really seems to like music.

Oscars new sounds

aeriga — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 06:09:00 +0000

Oscar recently has been making a few sounds. He does the quaker chirp, “woo woo”, and he whistles a bit (pretty girl sound) but not a lot a few times randomly here or there, so we are encouraging him to continue and if i can get it on video i’ll post it.

Spin!

Today is oscars third day of training, we’re teaching him to spin. We figured if he gets used to being rewarded that when it comes time for step up he will be able to learn it quicker knowing that he will be rewarded if he does the correct thing.

Google Ads – Help buy Oscar some food

level42 — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:22:48 +0000

You may have noticed I’ve added Google Ad’s to Oscars blog. This is simply to help generate a small (and I mean very small) bit of revenue to help with the hosting cost for Oscars blog, and maybe to buy him some treats once in a while.

The ad’s are very annoying and rather subtle. I hope you all don’t mind.

Thanks for understanding and your cooperation.

Oscar is doing well! – Just a quick update.

Oscar is doing well now, he’s eating regularly and maintaining his weight (About 390 – 400). He’s very active, doesn’t listen to me and seems to be on some serious ADHD. I still love him to death.

He also got a new toy today.

I’m working out some sort of training schedule and routine for him to get him to start stepping up and doing somethings on cue.

Question for all you readers, what can I use as a training reward? Sunflower seeds were not recommended, because there very fatty, and almonds he takes SO long to eat, even when we cut them into tiny pieces.

Let me know from your experiences, Thanks!

Also, Oscar got a new toy see below.

Oscar Mimics a Quaker

While Oscar was in the store, he was placed in the nusary with another Grey (Ruby <3) and a Quaker.

Apparently he must have picked this up from the Quaker while he was there, its so cute!

Oscar goes for a check up.

Today, Oscar went the the Britiana Animal Hospital, for a routine checkup. He recieved an overall groom, a physical checkup, blood work, and he is currently undergoing a parasite test (Results due next week). He got a clean bill of health, dispite him not eating. I recieved the phone call today about his blood work and they told me again, no signs of any problems. He’s as health as a horse, even gaining some weight again … back up to 391 tonight …

Oscar is home, but no longer eating :(

Oscar came home on friday, but he has since eaten much, he picks at his food a little bit but doesn’t seem to want to eat. He weighed about 415 grams when we brought him home but in 2 days he’s dropped to 361. I’ve schedualed an appointment with the vet on tuesday, so we shall see how he is. Hopefully he eats soon.

Oscar comes home today!

I’ve been told by the staff that Oscar can come home today

I’m so excited to go pick him up after work, and this way I get to spend the whole weekend with him

I will post some pictures and videos of the trip home later tonight.

[EDIT]
HE’S HOME!
