Rhage landed safe and sound today! Amen.
The crate he was shipped in was really small, just long enough for him and talk enough for him to sit on his perch. So when he got home we decided to let him stretch a bit.
He crawled right up into my lap and plopped a seat! This baby Macaw who has never seen me before in his life! He was beyond sweet with saying hello to everyone, and chattered away with us. He and I 'shared' an apple too! And his step up command is almost completely perfect already. He loves head and beak scratches while he rubs his chin
He's mouthy as can be, grabbing everything, but very gentle with his mouth but I expected that. He enjoys 'hissing' at people lol. Opens his mouth, hisses, and tries to get your fingers.
His feet are a bit tender from gripping that perch for 6 hours but they have no signs of swelling of injury. And he's a bit clutsy at the moment. He got to stretch, flap his wings, and eat and drink before relaxing in his cage.
So far he's perfect and exactly what I was hoping for. But we've only just begun. I can only imagine the trouble im in for once his 'newbie' faze is over and he becomes a demon .
First thing to work on? No shoulders!! It seems to be his WANT place to be lol. That's a no no my dearest.
