Billy Comes Home!

After considering taking on a baby grey a while ago with much thought and some input from other members i decided not to get one and maybe give an older bird a forever home.
Paula had posted that they needed foster homes in the south. This was my chance. After speaking to Paula we decided that I would receive Billy on the sunday, this was Friday. I texed hubby and asked him first, and he said yes. After an anxious excited wait Billy came on sunday.

He is currently in quarantine in our kitchen away from our other Timneh Bella who was also a rescue and is now 9 and a half. Billy is approximately 20/25.

It is now Tuesday morning and Billy is doing really well, settling at night after being covered, and he is eating like a horse. Fresh sweetcorn, broccoli, birdy bread, mash (not so keen on that) runner beans, potato,courgettes and he hasn’t touched one sunflower seed since he’s been here. Like all greys he loves a monkey nut but at the moment they are strictly limited to 1 a day and out of the shell. I will keep these and the odd sunflower seed for the day we let him out, and bribe him back in with these and training only.
When i uncovered him this morning he flapped his wings and bobbed his head, this is him saying hello which was cute as! He is still very quiet, few whistles but not much else, overall very quiet, but im very aware this will change lol. He has eaten brekkie this morning and is now sitting on his perch having a little preen.
