Good job Herman!

Herman is growing up so quickly. He changes every day.

On Sunday, I placed him in the sun and he started preening himself. As you can see, he is looking very handsome. His wings are filling in but he still has a mohawk of down feathers running down his back.

He also discovered the shish-kabob sticks in his new enclosure. He is still a little wobbly while preening on the sticks, but he will become pro at no time at all.

A few minutes after perching for the first time, he also discovered the syringe full of nectar and took a sip. The tip of the syringe is painted red to help attract him to it.

David and Carrie came over that evening to watch the Sopranos and to meet Herman. They both said he was so small and sweet that they wanted to cry. That pretty much sums it up.
