![]() My next biggest concern is Charlotte adjusting. I'm a housewife, and MrC is retired, and both of us are introverts and homebodies, so we do have lots of time. Charlotte is pretty needy right now, though I believe she will become less so as she continues to get better. I think my biggest concern is my physical time and meeting everybody's needs. No one can answer if you should ever add a bird to your flock, I very honestly admit if I knew the day we rehomed her to our family what I know today it's a 50/50 chance she'd still come home.Īsk any specific questions, happy to answer and help if I can! But she does have call / noise competitors with the Senegal too often. My macaw doesn't pay much attention unless he also thinks a serial killer is at the door. Buy seriously, she's a wonderful bird and not really THAT loud or vocal, but if you have a flock that responds to other loud birds, you might have a challenge. and of course, cause it's raining outside. she flies and flock calls cause it's busy. She warns that the garbage truck is eating up the front yard, or when our apparently serial killer of mail lady stops. She is a loud bird, tho smaller she's still all too. Ivory, a gorgeous outgoing loving super social too that if a woman would be the town tramp - loves everyone, especially men! I posted in my update in new member section a couple videos of her and can dig up some others. Then we have the flip side of the spectrum. ![]() And is terrified then aggressive with anyone but Victoria. He is by far the quietest bird in the home, literally near silent. We all have scars from Folger.īut all that said he bonded to my daughter and we knew he was just waiting for her to show up. He was known as the vampire bird and not handled because his aggressive behavior. He was at AHW for 6 years before we came along. We have 8 documented known homes but gaps in history could mean 12, 13 or more times he has bounced around. Folger has been horribly abused and mistreated in life - physically abused, locked in closets, starved, thrown and then there is the emotional abuse. do a,search and reading on him, he sounds more like the bird you are looking at. we actually have 2 bare eye toos in our home. I'd rather disappoint the bird (and the store, who are willing to almost give him away just to get him a home on account of how long he's been there) now rather than later after he's formed an attachment. But like I said above, I don't want to do anything at all if it would just be an impossible situation in the end. So what do you guys think? This wouldn't happen for many, many months, if it happened at all. I've pretty much convinced myself that I never want a cockatoo, but you know what they say about never saying never. So I want to start educating myself about this now. I don't want to build a relationship with a bird, only to realize later that he wouldn't make a good addition to my flock, or even a manageable addition. But, I have a pretty full flock of high-attitude birds already, one of whom is still very, very new (which is why I wouldn't consider anything shorter than half a year). If it turns out he's choosing me, then I would have to make a decision about bringing him home. I was thinking I could make an effort to go in and interact with him once a week or so for the next 6 months or so, and see what kind of relationship builds. I'm in that store a few times a month, but pass it several times a week. I'd never tried to interact with him physically before, but I've chatted with him and so I wasn't a complete stranger, but he was definitely more affectionate than he's been with anybody else except the one employee. He's probably not going to be going anywhere any time soon. He was pretty cool, and with my soft spot for the "lost causes", I was a little bummed at the thought of having to leave him there forever.īut then I had a thought. We talked and chatted with the little guy snuggling for quite some time. She said it was okay, so I did, and he did. I asked if I could try to get him to step up. He pulled his usual stunt and jumped to the floor. ![]() She wound up taking him out of his cage for me. He's pretty aggressive with most people, somewhat friendly to a chosen few, and mostly friendly to one particular staff member. He's not very friendly, and as much as the staff has tried to socialize him, he's just getting worse and worse. While I was there we got to talking about one little guy, a bare eyed 'too, who's been there for five years. I often go into the bird room to say hello to the rescues, and today was no different. ![]() They keep birds there for sale by breeders and also from rescues. ![]()
