So I came down to my parents house for the week. I saw my parents galah after two months. The last time I saw her was when I went with my brother to pick her up and after bringing her home, my family and I left to come back to NYC.
Anyways, she's had a hard two months. The initial vet visit the vet took off her band and scratched her feet , failed to mentioned it, which led to mutilation on her right feet and a collar on her for 1.5 months. Now she's doing wonderful, different vet, feet all healed and no more mutilation.
So here I come to my parents house two months later with my children, and I'm scared she's going to go all bonkers because of them. She did remarkably well and loves it when my 4 yr old gives her scritches. I think my children's monkeying around is entertaining for her. So I made a bunch of foraging toys for her and she finally finally is beginning to forage and loves the gift tissue papers, crinkle paper and Kraft sticks. i hide her treats in the gift tissue paper and she loves ripping through them to get to her treat.
My parents had requested me to take her with me to train her and encourage her to forage more. I have no problem and already have a big cage ready with toys all ready. But my concern is the stress level on her she does really well with me and loves speaking with me and playing with me. She made sounds and speaking noises that my parents haven't heard coming out her mouth in the last two months. It's not like she's not happy with my parent's, she is, she loves them. But with them she is a perch potato unless she's let loose on the floor.
She would be with me for a month and half and then would return back to my parents. I'm just so worried about her stress level going from house to house. I'm also worried about her self mutilaing herself again after coming to my house.
Sorry for such a big post. I do want to help my parents out but I need to look at rosey's stress level as well. I honestly think she would do wonderful and my family enjoys her company and I think she enjoys ours. It would be something like boarding but better right?
