Monday 2nd April we travelled to pick up a 2 and half yr old grey named Doodah.
Doodah had been part of the same family since he was a baby and had been loved by them all somewhere along the way he had begun to lost the bond with his owners and this was heartbreaking for them to see, he was well cared for and provided for and certainly loved but they felt he lacked in the interaction they so wanted to give,and so they made the heartbreaking decision to rehome him to the AGPC and hoped he could someday learn to love someone else the way he once did them.
When i bought him into our home i decided to give him a complete change inc a new name of George i also gave all new toys and perches but kept the one he saw as his comfort zone, where he seemed to retreat to if anyone he felt unsure of entered his space the only person he really seemed to like was our 7 yr old sonhe seemed to feel rather nervous and certainly uncomfortable around the rest of us so all his day to day care was led by our son, he chatted with him and did al the feeding and watering and even sat by him whilst i did the cleaning.
George had always been on a seed based diet but after the first spoon full i refused to give anymore and instead fed a pellet which George willingly took to in a instant.
I had originally thought George would be a long term foster as the road to learn to accept a adult was going to be a long one until on Wednesday only a couple days after George arrived a friend of mine from AGPC came to visit, again it was her daughter George excepted but them i couldnt believe my eyes when George allowed Jo into his space and also took food from her hands he even began to play on the floor but that was until i again entred the room
it seemed that little George had selected his own new mummy so the very next day i delivered George to his new forever family it seems like it was a match meant to be!
So on that note i will hand his blog over to his new mummy Jo.
