- GW Macaw, CAG, eclectus (Kiwi- RIP)
After weeks of making small but steady progress with my GW tonight she quickly crossed her playtop to greet me, held up a foot as if she wanted to step up.
I placed my arm under her foot and she just stayed there for a few minutes...one foot on the bars of her cage and the other on my arm. She then started to preen herself and allowed me to give her a good head scratch. Then she stepped onto my arm. Wow what a feeling! Got a few pinches but hey...this is a bird that, just 5 weeks ago, was lunging and biting! Quite a difference in behaviour and the daily interaction, playing ball with her, singing to her are beginning to pay off.
It can only get better from here!
