Well I posted a couple of weeks ago that I brought home Bindi from the rescue that I volunteer at. She’s been acclimating surprisingly well and has decided that she LOVES my husband. She’s a cuddler and will snuggle with me if he’s not around (if he’s around, I become the mode of transport to take her to him).
She was surprisingly easy to convert from a seed diet. She looked at chop very sceptically at first, but she dives into it now. She’s eating pellets (grudgingly), sprouts and chop now. I was prepared for a bit of a battle, but it only took a couple of days. Baby and Tango took more than a month to completely switch over from seeds to a healthier menu.
I’ve been slowly introducing her to Baby and Tango - and have just started letting them out at the same time (closely supervised). They mostly ignore each other, opting for “I can’t see that strange bird you seem to have accidentally brought into my house”. They’ll even ride around on me at the same time, very meticulously avoiding getting within about 6 inches of each other so that they can pretend there isn’t another bird there. No aggression, just avoidance. They may eventually decide to acknowledge each other, but it will be in their own time. Baby and Tango are flighted, so they move around as they choose. Bindi is clipped but can go about 20 feet before losing altitude - so anytime they are in proximity, it’s by choice. There’s several perches and play stands around, so they can all be by themselves if they want to.
Attached a picture of Bindi after a shower because she was looking adorable.
