the sequel to my "not good" thread.
If you followed that thread you know I got a pak-o-bird. I introduced it to Lincoln the following day and he was fine, but I FINALLY got to actually use it today. I might add some vet tape to the perch it comes with as it's a tad slipper for Lincoln but that's okay. He was really confused with it at first, giving it a good look around.
I love that I can easily buckle it into my car so it doesn't go sliding around. And it's quiet! No more clunky cage that rattles when the car is on.
So, now that I finally have a carrier that I don't hate, I took him to work with me. I know some of you probably wouldn't approve but it's a safe environment and I know all birds there are healthy and good. He even made a friend today. We have a young eclectus named Eliott who is probably the most social eclectus you will find. He just LOVES other birds and people. And Lincoln seems to get along with him just fine. We introduced them and I always have Lincoln an easy out to move away from Eliott and disengage from the situation but he always stayed. Near the end as he started to settle in he even began to play back with Eliott.
"He's behind me isn't he?"
"oh s***"
In other new his feathers quality hasn't changed in the past couple days, meaning it hasn't gotten worse. Which is good. I'm trying to hang out with him as MUCH as possible and cater to his every needs constantly. It's probably instilling bad habits because if he screams, I come calling. But honestly? oh well. I can take some screaming if it keeps him happy.
Here's a video of Lincoln and Eliott.
