After doing so well on her new Animal Zone pellets and growing back quite a few feathers, we have had a major setback with Penny. Her and Charlie my other Grey don’t get on and I can’t let them out together, it stresses Penny out but a couple of weeks ago Penny was out and Charlie undid his catch on his food dish door and got out, before I could get him back in he dive bombed Penny and as she ran to get in her cage, he did it again.
Poor Penny, for the next couple of days she bit off all the lovely feathers that she had grown back. It’s such a shame and I blame myself for not making sure all his food doors were done up extra tight,I just hope that she will calm down again and let her feathers grow back, we have gone right back to basics with her, just giving her Animal Zone plumage enhancer for a few days to boost up the feathers and we’ll take it from there.
Penny continues to love Darryl and hate me, she would strip the skin of any part of me that she can grab, so I try hard to keep out of lunging distance lol. Bless her little heart, I love her to bits, she is quite happy playing with a telephone directory, ripping it up or preening her toys in her cage. I can’t believe it’s 10 months since we had Penny, she came to us as Ben and had been called a he for the first six years of her life, DNA gave us a surprise when it came back that Ben was actually a girl, so Ben became Penny.
She continues to whistle and beep rather than talk, but knows exactly what you are saying to her. she is a crafty little mare hahaha. That just makes her all the more lovely, it’s a battle of wills.
