I think I need to start lifting weights!

[Blancaej]

I've had Savannah now for a little over 3 weeks. She started stepping up on my arm on May 2nd. After a few days of not getting her to repeat it, I worked with her and now for the last couple days she will step up on my hand right from in her cage. I no longer need to use the stick! She doesn't always step up from outside the cage but has done it a couple of times. She is doing great, but I think I need to start lifting weights. My little girl is heavy! :th_biggrin: LOL! My arm gets tired after a few minutes. I guess my puny muscles will build up over time! :wink-new: LOL!

Here are some photos we took yesterday.

Thats great news Blanca that Savannah is now stepping up on to you:)

Thanks Wendy! I couldn't have imagined it would happen this fast. I was thinking 2 months to a year. Especially her being older and used to her ways all these years. But she is a fast learner!

Oh, I bet she gets heavy quickly! Pete and Merlin make my hands tired after just a few minutes.

Quincy feels like a little peanut now compared to Savannah! :th_LOL:

Very beautiful birds! Oh yeah you'll develop your "holding arm up" muscles in no time!
I get a lot of lifting and carrying muscle use during the summer carrying their entire cages outside...it's brutal but it's a great arm and shoulder workout after about 5 times every day (2cages). Whew! :)

That is a workout! They are worth it!
