Are you joking? At least you were coherant enough to tell us about it!
I am so happy to hear he is doing well.
I got this call once, and it was my daughter, and she was out of her mind hysterical, crying so hard it sounded like she was going to die, or someone already had. I got fragments of what she was trying to tell me, which was "they think they are going to have to amputate his leg!!!!!" and more hysterical sobbing. I was scared out of my mind- did she mean my grandson? Her husband? What sort of horrible accident had they been involved in??? Luckily, it was her bird, Precious Roy, but to her, I think he was the dearest of the three! It was a relief for me to hear it was not human. And I wouldn't have called her a drama queen...
I think I'd avoid the pink, too. If it's true what Sean Niland (VMS) says, they can associate feeding with stressful events in their lives, and go off feeding, then it sure wouldn't hurt to let his life calm down first. He's not a bitty hatchling with no spare reserves. Although it's comforting to us moms to get a good meal in our babies' stomachs.
All right- I'll be anxiously awaiting the next update! Give him a little kiss for me!
