Perky - CAG
10:55 PM |

DeeToday was a big day in our lives ... we adopted a Congo African Grey Parrot named Perky.
Perky is 22 years old and has had the same owner for 20 of his 22 years. We had thought this would be a difficult adjustment for him and we were not only prepared for the challenge but intended to make the adjustment as easy as possible for him.
We also have a quaker parrot named Sméagol and kept Perky under quarantine for about three weeks. We felt this was a good approach for health reasons but also allowed Perky to adjust to his new surroundings and people before introducing him to King Sméagol.
His first day was better then I expected. He seemed a little cautious but not nervous. He was eating and drinking and had about 5 minutes out of cage time. So we were pleased and felt we were off to a great start.
I was thinking this evening that our lives have forever changed ... but that's a good thing!
