I rescued Ozzy from his third home a couple months ago. He had lived in a cage eating only seed for the last year and never getting out. Needless to say, he was not friendly. We have come so far! He still will only let me remove him from the cage with a perch but he now has no problem stepping up, lets me put my hand over his head to scratch his neck (biggest improvement!), lets me scratch all over him and move his wings and is talking non-stop to me! Here is a recent picture. I am soo happy I ended up adopting as opposed to getting a baby. I feel this incredible trust and connection with him and every little bit more he trusts me is just the best feeling. Im sure everyone who has rescued can relate. Anyways, sorry for the ramble... just felt like posting a pic of how cute he is!
