Morning cuddles

[Skittles2016]

She's slowly getting used to my hands, she's not so trusting of my entire body so I don't think she'll be snuggling into my top or anytime soon. But this is what we do in the morning now for about 15 minutes

Hehe, she's also decided this evening that my hand is good enough to nap in for over half an hour which left me with a dead arm, but well worth it!!!

SOOOOO cute! Think about getting some natural wood perches for Skittles 0-those smooth wood ones are not so good for her footies - they are all the same diameter, and she needs to have different diameters - like tree branches are. BUT DONT JUST RUN OUT TO THE BACK YARD AND CUT SOME -CUZ THEY MAY HAVE BUGGIES AND PESTICIDES ON THEM. A good wash, and bake in the oven at 200degF for an hour or 2 and then they are safe. She is def warming up to you !

Thank you! I have other perches in there, she has a branch shaped one which is different sizes and she has a calcium perch and a couple of rope perches outside her cage for sitting on so she doesn't have to be in but I'll def go and get some tree branches for her so she has some more natural perching material!!
I'm glad she's beginning to trust me, and to think she didn't want to go anywhere near me last week

Great news and great progress!

Once they get used to your hands, it's only a matter of time before they become totally comfortable with you. Conures are little cuddlebugs. My Skittles likes to climb down my shirt and rub his head in my chest hair and take naps. It's like a furry cuddle hut for him. lol.

Thank you I definitely agree with you there! As soon as i put my hand in now she runs over and snuggles into it. She's also really good with the stepping up now does it straight away so I need to now work on taking the treat away. Also she's still getting comfortable to being close to me outside of the cage, but I know it will happen especially because of the progress she's already made. She's a clever girl
