Penny Nearly A Year With Us!

Penny Nearly A Year With Us!

May 19th, 2012
Penny Nearly A Year With Us!

It’s coming up to almost a year now since Penny arrived here to live, she still loves Darryl so that good because she still hates me!

In the year since she has lived with us, we’ve had tears, tantrums, ranting and raging and that’s just from Penny!

She’s a darling really I love her to bits even though the feeling isn’t mutual it doesn’t stop me from treating her exactly as I treat my other Grey, Charlie.

Penny is a plucker, whether she will ever stop or not is debatable, she lets her feathers get so long and then she sits and nips them back, little bit by little bit. As long as I know she is happy and healthy it really doesn’t matter to me what she looks like.

At the moment she is growing new tail feathers again and every time that happens I keep my fingers crossed that she will leave them this time.

We have moved her cage next to the window so that she can see out in the garden and I think that has helped her a bit. A telephone directory is her main toy, she loves to sit looking out of the window and rip shreds out of the book.

Penny continues to eat well, she has Animal Zone foods with a bit of fresh veg and sometimes fruit. I very rarely give her a tiny bit of cheese and wow you should see her run for that lol.

I’ll update again in a month to let you know how her feathers are doing.
