Angus Has Spring Fever

April 28th, 2012
Angus Has Spring Fever

Angus is most definately the ‘bad boy’ of the flock. I think he must be suffering from ‘spring fever’ because he has Moments where he loves me – he tries to feed me, drops his wings and makes his baby noises then WHAM he’s trying to bite my finger off. His talking is amazing and he seems to pick new words up daily. He chats to the others now and will answer Gary with a “woof woof” when she asks him what a doggy does. He also encourages Gary to sing by telling her “opera Gary” and when she obliges he tells her “that was beautiful”

He is still arch enemies with Oscar, but they tend to ignore each other when they are out. I had to let them out separately for a while as Angus got a bit bossy and Oscar seemed scared of him, but that seems to be better now and they can all come out together again.

Despite his bossy, bitey, naughty behaviour I love him to bits and I wouldn’t be with out him.

Here are a few pics of my handsome boy.


Kato’s Story

Kato's Story

Kato came into our family just 3 weeks ago 8th April 2012 to be exact, he joined my 1 yr old CAG Thabo who we have had from 12 weeks old, Julie and Stevie travelled down to bring us Kato I think it was about a 3.5 hour drive so big thanks to them. I am the main parront and thought it was going to be an easy job taking a rehome but my hat goes off to all the foster parronts here, Kato and I are having a few problems connecting I have new bites and had a few bloody ones too ouch!.

But steps are being made when I leave for work he shouts to me, when I take his cover off on the morning he speaks to me he will take food from my hand but I don’t forget that I have to do things his way and at the minute it is going slowly, but I am patient and hopefully the next time I write about him there will be more good news.

 


Coco`s Update April 2012

Coco`s Update April 2012

Though its only been a couple weeks since i last updated i feel this past 2 weeks mine and Coco`s relationship has improved she is now letting me take her anywhere around the house via the buddy perch, so this has made simple things like a shower a lot easier for me to do instead of waiting for Karl to come and offer a hand , so just today she has been able to come in the bathroom whilst i had my soak in the bath, something the other girls do but she had been missing out on.

Every time she steps up onto the perch she offers kisses and then does her special dance she does just for me she now even gets a lot more out of cage time than she did as now i know i can get her out by myself and also return her with ease and no stress for either of us she continues to love her chewable and shredable toys and her beak now looks a normal length just like the others and just these last few days i can go into her cage to give food without her running the perches at mad speed just to come take a chunk out my flesh all in all i think we begining to become friends!


Sammi’s Forever Home.

Sammi's Forever Home.

We have loved having Sammi come to live with us.

We adopted her back in February, though it seems like she has always been here she seemed to settle right away.

She makes us all laugh and smile so much, i love how she does her little dance and a special whistled tune each time we walk into the room,Sammi Is on Harrison pellet food and loves it she also likes toast with palm tree oil in the morning for her breakfast.

she loves having tickles so much that she has been known to fall asleep.

Sammi enjoys being out of her cage and on the floor walking around exploring and playing, She is still plucking her feathers but is no worse than when she came a few months ago, and with such a sweet nature and personality i seem to now look past her lack of feathers!

She has just had a new cage and seams to love all the extra room she has to play and stretch her wings. she is such a delight and i feel honoured to have been chosen to give her a forever home xx


Penny’s Training Begins.

Penny's Training Begins.

Penny is one of our Rescue African Greys, she hates me! We have had her for 10 months now, I started to do training with her when she first arrived here but it was obvious that she didn’t like me, so I left her, just did the normal everyday things with her and talked to her lots.

Now, 10 months down the line she still hates me, so I thought I’d try training again to maybe build a bond…this is her first training session in 10 months, so we’ll see how she goes. As you can see, she is a plucker, she started growing her feathers back after arriving here and a change of diet, toys etc etc. Then my other Grey escaped from his cage one day when she was out playing and dive bombed her, she nipped her lovely new feathers off and we are back to square one, but…there is hope, she is healthy and it is just a habit, so she might stop it one day.

Even if she doesn’t….I still love her to bits.
