Ok we are first time bird owners kind of involuntarily with soooo many questions. Last november we were asked to hold a military for an acquaintance because they needed the room for a child moving back to the state. Was supposed to only be like 6 months tops. Should have known when she said we had an option to purchase her. So long story short we haven't heard from her, so we are proud bird owners.
Luckily, i look and sound similar to previous owner, because she really seems to have taken to me. I've been making slow progress with getting closer and closer to her. I mean she has always stepped up and allowed me to scratch her around the head and neck, she will ride on my shoulder. I've had occasion to roll her over with a towel and she's grabbed my finger with her beak and i could lift her up. I was scared to death honestly, it was a one time only thing. She seems so moody, those good moods are very few and far between and hard to determine.
She has a designated room with a huge cage it almost takes up the entire room. Her food and water is kept in cage, but she has free range. There is a baby gate in doorway and that is where she spends most her time. There or under cage. She gets very nervous and uneasy whenever i try too bring her out with us to socialize. She's fine if i go in her room and sit with her, in fact she tries to keep me in there with her. She has a varied diet but near impossible to get her to eat anything fresh or good for her. Prefers raw peanuts, raw sunflower seeds, and pellets, will eat various other nuts. Loves protein of any kind. Any meats. Screams allot, had never plucked.
If i knew i was going to end up with her it'd have asked so many more questions. All i know is she said she had her for 7years. She will shower if i turn on shower and sit on side off tub with my arm stretched across tho far wall so she can walk out at her leisure.
We close her in her room at night,and during the day as we both work full time. So She only has her toys and radio all day until like 3. Then she's opened up till like 10.
Doesn't really seem.to play with toys much. We give her everything and doesn't enjoy much. Shredding magazines mostly. Not destructive.
There will be a whole nother post concerning her and my husband's relationship, that is where most of our questions lie. That and the possibility of adding other creatures of various kinds to our clan. We Jane always been dog people, I'm heartbroken thinking i May not be able to add canines to my home after losing 3recently. Pico came at the perfect time, i really have a hard time even thinking of rehoming her as She doesn't deserve to be shuffled from home to home. Just really asst a Crossroads right now. Any one with military advice specifically is appreciated please.
