postheadericon Perk's Progress



We bought him a new playtop cage -- He is now in his playtop cage, with toys and two perches, new croc bowls ... His new additional natural perches and more toys arrive next week and it seems like introducing these to him will be easy!

In the past, he has had very little out of cage time -- He is now not only coming out with just learning step up ... but he plays with foot toys and his hanging toys on top of his cage ... 

He was never clipped and can't seem to fly .. so we are very careful with his out of cage time. He panics and flies around erratically so we are having a hard time working with him. I think we will need to clip him or we won't be able to work with him. He is lunging and biting and isn't trusting us and flies off ..

We have to buy a carrier to get him to the vet to have him clipped .. hopefully next week. We don't want to traumatize him so we will see how he is doing.

He was eating a mixture of sunflower seeds, peanuts and a bunch of other seeds .... Can you believe he is eating Hagen Lifetime Pellets for Parrots ... and tropimix! He loves it ... just tonight he kept his head in the bowl for 10 minutes! 

I am so impressed with this birds progress ... he is so perceptive to all physical changes ... but still lunges and bites!

I know .. one day at a time!
