With 7 sick birds, we all got to see some of the common complications..
Wow. Demands would set a complicated rotation of attention.
I was able to create a flock. So they are all on me at the same time, or on the spiral rope perches next to me. Only one budgie stays away and that's Clear Skies. It feels pretty special to be surrounded by parrots. On my shoulders, my arms, my hands my legs and the budgies on my head or the back if my chair. When they all make kiss noise, or laugh or say hello in unison it magic!
They are usually all on me at the same time, or all foraging at the same time , or all flying together, or all taking a bath, they are a flock.
For me that's normal. But I know that's not how things work out for everybody. They each have their own cage.
Makes me feel like snow white!
Foraging on those hunks of veggies keeps them busy twice a day. And they get caged for an hour nap time. ( that took some work, but is now routine) they are all flighted. The rest is a lot of parrot kisses and snuggles, I wish you could know the joy .
The one budgie is escape rescue, the other 2 given by some moving, Pikachu is a rehome, Penny I had to rescue from terrible situation, Ta-dah I bought years ago st a pet store, and my newest Orbit i bought, because he was screaming none stop, over preening starting to pluck , and he reminded me of Neptune. He had been at the petstore for a couple if months, was fearful. I didn't want him to have a terrible life with that screaming. Every time I came to the petstore for stuff he screamed the whole time i was there.... The day I decided to make him mine I came in on the store meeting, they were going to send him back. I paid way to much for him, but I consider him a rescue too. Thankfully the store isn't going to get a quaker again , that screaming drive them nuts. Me too!!! But I got it stopped.
