I have not been online, we've been working with family on recovering from Hurricane Harvey. My fids have been good but I lost my favorite baby Venus, my Ekkie. A massive loss and I reported it to the group. I have buried myself to cope. I miss her so much, she was so amazing.
So this past week, we received new floors (YES)! What a difference! But the point of this post is I believe BUZZ (my African Gray) LOVES ME!!!!!!!!! But no touching allowed!
I purchased Buzz just over two years ago, he has very low trust values. Many on here have been positive and encouraging, some AGs do not like touching, Buzz hates touching. I have a 27 yo Mexican Redhead, he wants head scratches, so I was confused trying to please Buzz.
We went through hurricane Harvey, minimal damage but this summer got the opportunity to update our floors. As a precaution, I took Buzz (AG) and Buddy (Mexican Redhead, Amazon) to my mother's to stay overnight. The floors were completed quickly. Buzz, my AG was angry, he would take treats and throw them down, he was silent at my parents' while he was there.
I arrive at my parents' to pick Buzz and Buddy up, both started singing and whistling, mimicking my calls. My parents said both had been silent since I dropped them of. Buzz does not want to be touched but given here he was silent at my parents, didn't reanimate till I arrived, that's something.
Then the next morning, he wouldn't stop with his sounds, so I believe I am loved by Buzz, but NO TOUCHING!!!! LOL!!! Thoughts!!??
