	cajunbait2000 says: 5/29/08 - I pulled the baby this morning and started it on formula. He ate really well for the first feeding. It weighs 29 grams and took 1.5 cc of Zupreem embrace. They are almost identical to the aracaris except they have a real looking bird tounge instead of the feather looking tounge of the aracaris. You can even see the knee spurs just like the aracaris.

	cajunbait2000 says: 6/12/08 baby is getting very aware of his surroundings. 3 weeks 4 days old he weighs 105 grams today. He is also getting very sweet and cuddly. Reacts very close to my green aracaris babies. But development is unbelievably fast. Last night he was perching on his bowl. Originally posted 48 months ago.
