I am fairly new to this forum and have recently brought home Kit from a home she has resided in for 18 years. she also had a owner before these people. That said I am guessing she is in her 20's. The cage she came in doesn't have many toys or perches in it. she has two wooden perches and a bell and one other thing hanging in her cage( not sure what the other thing is lol) she has no cuttle bone and her nails are extremely long.Today we are making a trip to the vet to get her nails trimmed and a check up. want to be sure she is healthy and then we wills start transitioning her diet. Right now she is eating mostly seeds however I have been giving her some assorted good table foods to get her used to some different things. Pellets are not one of her favorites. I have a feeling I will be hiding them in foods as we go.
She will take food from my hand but at this point is not willing to step up or have me get too close without food. So I am looking for pointers from some experienced people on the forum. Maybe some good ideas to transition her. I have a much larger cage for her but have not made that transition yet since I don't want to upset her so I am giving her some time to adjust.I also have a great play gym but can't put her on it if I can't get her back in her cage . I am not sure what type she is either. From my research I am guessing she is a red crown but would love input on that also. I don't know how to turn my photo so unfortunately it is sideways.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
