Storm had a bath today and her colours are unbelievable! She is such a great bird. So quiet, eats lots of veggies and she does step up for nutriberries and stays on me till she is done. I know it will only get better from here - she is only 6 or 7. Hopefully she lets me scritch her one day like Indigo does. We had a setback when someone (a professional) came and trimmed her nail visibly too short. She was dripping blood and thank goodness my vet friend told me to take her out and stop the bleeding with baking soda. The plan was to cut it only a bit short for DNA sexing which I am waiting on but too much was taken off. The amazing thing is that I trimmed a couple of her nails on my own when she was eating a nutriberry on my hand! Very little and very quickly.*

She mostly likes to be in or on her cage. Any advice to get her to like being out? She is getting a bit chubby on nutriberries!

Storm is absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing photos of her.

Have you tried setting up a play area away from her cage? It doesn't have to be extravagant to be interesting, just a few toys, food dishes, favorite treats.

Enjoy your gorgeous girl!
