Sammi

Sammi is getting better at me handling him now. He will step up onto the perch for me nicely so I can take him round the house or to his favourite place, the shower!! He just loves a good soaking and starts getting all excited when I take him into the bathroom. Its nice being able to do something he enjoys without Dil having to be there.

Well the unthinkable just happened, Dil just put a harness on Sammi no problems! He is so so tame with Dil. He will let him do literally anything with him!

Had the DNA results today, she is a he!! I had a feeling because of how Tweak reacted, she wont keep still round him and keeps showing off.

I decided to add a couple of natural branches to Sammis cage to replace some of the sandy perches to prevent her feet from getting sore. Well they have been a real hit! Not only is she enjoying perching on them she has already debarked them so that must be helping blunt that razor sharp beak of hers!

She isnt fazed by anything new added to her cage which is really good as I like to offer new opportunities for her to explore in there and she is happy for me to put my hands in to add some fun stuff such as foraging boxes and of course her food. I get the chance to give her a tickle if Im lucky

At the moment she is by far more vocal of a morning than Tweak, in fact its nice hearing them call to each other. Seems as how she suddenly decided to take to Dil (my husband) later on he is going to try and get her to step onto the scales so I can get a base weight for her. Then I will check this every month or so as I do Tweak to ensure she is at least maintaining weight. Hopefully any day soon we will be getting the DNA results although Im beginning to think its quite obvious that she is female?!?!?

Today when Dil came home he went to Sammi and straight away got her to step up onto his hand and she started regurgitating for him! Its only the second time he has got her to step up onto him and she instantly loves him! I cant get over it, she is like a different bird round him. Im so glad she has took to one of us and Dil seems chuffed to have a new friend
