Well after months of working with her (she was surgically sexed :)) and seeing a huge with draw back and major advances lost after getting my macaw, I made a hard choice that has worked out wonderfully. She has gone to live with a 14 year old latch key kid who I have known all of his life. He has worked with me and my birds for 2 years and has had teils for at least 6 years before his mom sold them off. He is now living with his Dad full time and he is "fostering" Danny who he now calls JoJo. I have a written contract with him and Dad (who is my best friend) that JoJo is my bird and they are no more then fosters. If he ever needs to have JoJo rehomed she comes back to me. This way when he goes to school I can keep her safe and sound till he gets better settled and can take her back.
In the month she has been over there she is a different bird. huge talker and a master food swiper. LOL She yells his name as the teen comes home and he has some one happy to see him and is not coming home to a empty house. They hang out all the time and she is eating even better then when she was here. The teen is eating better also as he is worried about her eating junk and has started to make better food choices so she can eat with him.
