Folger... what happens when I have to feed...

[jenphilly]

So Victoria had evening class this evening so she asked me to feed everyone. I had given them the mish-mash I made up earlier, so we needed to put out their dry mix....

Attached are videos of Folger 'enjoying' his time with me.... obviously he likes me to some degree because when I turned away or talked to someone else, he yelled at me... and when I left the room, he actually yelled 'come here'... its a love hate thing... he loves to hate me Its baby steps. Him taking food from my hand without trying to bypass the treat and get to my hand is actually great improvement....

Round robin to see everyone in the room

All bad boy Folger... this one is longer, but shows how we try to let him express his anger in a productive (or destructive manner)...

youtube is working on rotating the one video, so should be able to watch without tilting your head sideways any second!!!

 

[Cyrinaluna]

Your commentary had me in stitches! Too funny! Ivory had a look on her face in the second video like "seriously? Why do you put up with this mom?"

 

[jenphilly]

Ivory definitely does not recognize Folger as a member of her species someone asked if we would considering breeding them, I laughed that Ivory wouldn't even have a coffee date with the dude

But she so does not like me talking to Folger. Don't think its a protective thing, its total jealous of mom spending time with another bird, psycho or not

Oh, Folger and that basket! I bet he is mad because his mommy is at school
You are definitely making progress with him, and you still have your fingers...yay!
I fall more in love with him every time I see him, and hear his sweet little voice

 

[jenphilly]

I am sorry... I missed the sweet little voice... I heard the 'come here' demand, and the 'wadda want'... the sweet sound that pops up here and there is strictly a lure... kinda like offering candy to lure a child into a car... He sounds sweetest right before he thinks he has a chance to get a bite of chicken tasting human...

All jokes aside, keep trying... I have been uncovering his cage when Tor has morning classes, give him a few almonds, talk to him and try to make him realize I'm only there for the good things.
