Hello guys! I just want to express my gratitude on your advice and warm welcome! It's helped so much in this crazy journey!
Wanted to share how my first month with Katie has gone!
She is still a total sweetheart and cuddle bug but the Sassiness has definitely come through- she is part Scarlet after all! I say sassy because she is an older bird so she wants what she wants! She loves to dance and laugh and is highly entertained by the kids! So far only my 12 year old son has been able to handle her a handful of times, she's pinched him a handful of times as well. Lol
As for socializing, she's warmed up to two of our guy friends right away- one never have handled any bird. I believe she likes males and dislikes kids (which I don't blame her).
The only hiccups are that she is pretty stubborn, if she's on my shoulder and doesn't want to get off she hides behind my neck lol- she will step back up when I use my stern Mommy voice though.
She also is not a vegetable fan and I've tried so many options! Any advice? I make her smoothies for now but would love to see if I can get her to eat the wonderful medley of veggies I make her - I heard that I should do one of veggies and a separate one of fruit and not mix them but that still doesn't work.
She also is pretty bonded to me and still screams when I leave the room, believe it or not, I just tune it out now
I cannot be more in love with this girl, she has stolen all our hearts and feel so blessed!! She is absolutely amazing!
Had to share a photo of her 2 months ago and her now- her feathers and demeanor have changed so much!
