So I've been putting off posting this, but since it's been a week I might as well spill the beans.
Here it is an update on Jordan at her foster home.
I got a call Sunday night, it hadn't been 6 hours since Jordan left. Jordan was causing self-harm. I was told that she had been ramming her head into the sides of the cage and her dishes. I've never heard of a bird doing this so I was concerned. I could hear her hitting the sides of the cage, and I asked him to put it on speaker phone. I talked to Jordan, and he said that she had calmed down. I recorded my voice and sent it to him, now he plays it for Jordan so she won't hurt herself.
I never thought Jordan would do something like that, I thought it would be Elvis causing self harm. I didn't expect her to be ramming her head into things either, that's not something I've heard of in birds.
Jordan has been doing just fine since then.
Recordings and my YouTube videos will only work for so long. Jordan saw a vet a couple days ago to make sure she didn't do any internal damage. She is fine, and has been doing well ever since. I got to go see her back on Thursday, and she was so happy to see me. She actually showed signs of having a bond with me. She climbed up my arm and hid in my hair for a while, and she screamed when I put her back in the cage, she wanted to come back to her true home.
It was truly heartbreaking having to leave her, but she is in good hands.
I'm trying to put off bringing her home for as long as possible, but with the way she was acting I can't imagine her lasting until the day I plan on bringing her back (May 29th).
Have I done the right thing?
Or did I make another stupid mistake?
The rest of my flock went to their foster home around an hour ago.
