I just recently acquired a 16 year old Goffin
named Missy.
We are actually getting along famously to my
surprise. She loves neck rubs over treats.
She allows other people to pet her when we
have visitors.
But like any newbie I have a lot of questions.
Her cage was way too small so I bought a nice
larger used cage which has a play top. I've
pressure washed and cleaned the new cage and
I've had it sitting next to her current one for 5
days now. Missy is terrified of the new one.
If I take her near to it she flies off the opposite
direction. I hate her having to be in such a small
cage when I'm not at home.
I also got her a perch stand and if we go near it
she flies off.
Another question the used toys that were in the
new/used cage is there a safe way to clean them or
is it just best to throw them away??
I got her Harrison's pellets which she took right to,
prefers fresh veggies over cooked, loves rice (cooked).
She cracks an almond in a shell faster than a squirrel.
Not big on any fruits I've tried so far.
Is there a really good thread about Goffin diet I can
reference?
Was told she is terrified of water/baths.
Oh we have an appointment with my exotic vet on
the 13th of March. Want to get a well check done.
Any questions I should ask about?
Don't mind reading and researching if someone would
be so kind as to point me in the right direction.
