Poppy is approximately 17 years of age, and had been with her previous owners for over 14 years!! After her owners had made the heartbreaking decision to re-home her through AGPC, Poppy’s details and information were passed onto me, so that I could collect her.
After being in contact with her owners for 2 weeks, and preparing for her arrival we collected Poppy on the 5th of November.
Poppy is quite a small Grey, she is a plucker, and has in previous years laid eggs. She doesn’t really talk, but loves to whistle and beep, she barks like a dog, and meows, and she does the fastest head banging dance moves I’ve ever seen!! 
After getting her home we transferred her straight to her new cage as her previous cage was quite small, her new cage is full if different types of toys which Poppy isn’t used to, as her last toys were rattles and a hanging toy.
As it was Bonfire night I decided to put the telly on for her, and to leave her be so she could adjust to her new surroundings. With this being a massive change, Poppy felt safest clung to the bars at the top of the cage, we managed to entice her down to her food bowls but she didn’t want to eat or drink, and when it was bedtime she clambered back up to the top of the cage. I don’t think she has ever seen the types of toys or perches that I have place in her cage, and didn’t go on the perches at all.
After being with her previous owners for over 14 years, all that Poppy has ever known has now gone, and she is going to need lots of TLC to help her adjust to life with us. She is such a little sweetie, and I’m sure once she has settled down and gets used to her new life, she will become quite a character within our family.
Here is a Photo of the new cage, and of course one of little Poppy.
