Archie Has Settled Himself In!

This is my first update on this very special boy.  I went over to see Mandy just over ten days ago after been chosen to give him his forever home. What a perfect bird he is. He has clearly been so well cared for and socialised by his previous owners. Mandy explained the circumstances leading up to him being rehomed and I can only imagine what a tough decision it must have been for them. They were very kind to send him to his new home with all of his toys, his cage and a travel cage too, such a spoilt boy!!

Archie will go to absolutely everyone, such a rarity. I have been careful not to overwhelm him but he sits on his cage door flapping his wings until he is picked up by anyone he takes a fancy to. He is left out all the time we are home and he is so content to play on top of his cage or down on the floor with us. I only work a few hours a day so he comes out for an hour or so before I go, then again for an hour about lunchtime, then for at least 7 hrs before his bedtime. When he is covered at night, he peeps under his covers, says SHHHH  and says NIGHT. It makes me laugh every time as its just so cute. He is quite chatty and now he has had chance to settle we have heard: Archie, Hello Archie, Good Boy, Alright?, and lots of noises. I have already instructed my partner to make him a shelf for above his cage for another play area. He is yet to see the huge playstand I have!!!

Due to the fact he is so handleable, he has been in his travel cage and has been out visiting to some relatives, my work, been down the park, in the garden, in the bathroom…..in fact, where we go, he goes!! He has given my children (aged 14 and 11 yrs) such confidence as our previous Grey was rather feisty and would only tolerate me!. Archie has taken rather a shine to my daughter and chooses to sit with her in the evening demanding head rubs. He is so gentle, calm and laid back. I really have never met such a perfect boy. I am so delighted to have him and will of course keep his blog updated regularly.

Many many thanks to AGPC (Paula and Mandy) for choosing me as Archie’s match. I know it was a very difficult decision for his previous owners to let him go, I promise you he will be so loved and spoilt. I have your written notes about him and am keeping his routine as close to how  it was when he was with you. You should be so proud of him, he is truly perfect.
