Oscar Becomes Angus And Settles In Well.

Poor ‘Oscar’, within 24 hours he had travelled from Scotland to Durham and then to Barnsley, had a new cage and toys to get used to and a 12 yr old boy ‘talking Scottish’ to him through the bars to make him feel at home ! Then, due to personal reasons i was unable to keep his given name so confused him further by renaming him Angus (having come from Aberdeen, it was as good a name as any)

Angus had a quiet 24 hrs but soon made up for it. We got a ‘hello’ each time we came in the room and he soon came to the front of the cage for a head scratch. we opened the cage door and after 10 mins of Gary, our other grey encoraging him with ‘come on, step up’ over and over he ventured out (i think he just wanted her to shut up) we havent looked back since, he steps up for all of us, plays happily with his toys, and enjoys the odd barking competition with Gary.

He’s started to say more of his words – we’ve had ‘give us a kiss’ ‘bye bye’ and even a new word ‘thank you’ when we give him a treat (i know its new cos its in a Yorkshire accent). He says many more words but until Liz or Nikki arrive to translate them we’ll just have to guess (i dont need a translator for the burps though, i can tell what they are)
All in all he’s settled in great and is doing very well.

I know his old mummy is missing him, but i promise we are looking after him and he is happy x x
