I have been researching and learning for months now and figured today was a good day (Nov. 20th is my birthday after all) to go ahead and get my green cheek. Her name is Pico, which is Spanish for “beak”. Fitting since her kind’s native habitat is the jungles in the central area of South America. She was flock raised so is very hand shy. The only reason I know she’s a “she” is because she came with papers stating such, or do the store employee said. From what I can tell she’s a “normal” color mutation. Any and all advice to help build her trust and develop a relationship is welcome.

I got Pico to eat from a millet spray I was holding! Whenever I say her name she does this locate call. It’s loud and shrill and she does it it spurts of two or three. I live in an apartment so I’m a little worried that this might bother the neighbors. She doesn’t do it all the time. Just when I say her name.
