I cannot wait to get her home! There’s a chance we can bring her home Wednesday but it’s an hour drive there and an hour drive back and it’s supposed to snow in our area so I’m not sure that’s workable just yet

No :(
It has snowed 8 inches so far and still snowing. So far the plan is for Saturday
Yea!!! I love snow. I know you are disappointed. Do you have pictures of her cage that you have set up for her?

Not yet :( hubby may have broken his foot, and you have to have two people to put the cage together, so needless to say it’s not together yet :facepalm:

I’m having a friend come and help me tonight so hopefully I can get pictures up and get y’alls opinion before we bring her home tomorrow

Here is what I have so far. I’ve got a few toys ordered that haven’t come in yet, and Debbie is sending a few perches with her until she can get her balance with perching. 33473BC1-16DB-416A-8BB6-4E969E68B1D1.jpeg BF066993-AA53-4189-9E33-715118062CE3.jpeg 0414F079-7D96-479C-A80D-770E0F959147.jpeg

I'm curious about the blanket underneath the newspaper. Is this for her balance issue?

Kind of. She likes to climb with her beak but will fall. So they recommended blankets under the newspaper for the time being

I would add a couple of platform perches 3-5" above the newspaper...if there is room. You can use shelves and cover them with fleece lining.
More toys when you can get them. I try to have five or more in a cage with my macaws...that don't play with them.
The one who does play with this toys knocks at least one of them down a day.

I was waiting to see what a Debbie gave me. And boy did she give me a bunch! A62554FB-0566-4898-A54C-99888849AEE0.jpeg 9BDD0AF1-09FF-4798-B473-EAC411F7815D.jpeg 04761D3B-EAC6-43F4-ACF4-0A3F51FFF741.jpeg 67AF3D4B-7F4A-4A27-A318-0F673D02D9BC.jpeg

Now if I can get her to stop biting, everything will be close to perfect. She has stolen our hearts already

I saw the pics on your other thread. The cage looks awesome.
Leave the door open (if you can) when you are home. It won't be long before she is coming to you as close as she can.

You are killing me here. My Ekkie died several months ago. I don't know what happened. I didn't get tests done.
She didn't appear to be sick to me. It's the 2nd bird that I've had die in this cage. Cage is now gone.
Anyway, now I want an Ekkie. She looks so sweet.

We leave the cage open all the time. We have blankets underneath as she is still learning her balancing, so she flew out Saturday afternoon. It’s so cute to hear her walk on the floor. She let us pick her up and I had her on the couch and then on my bed. But that was it. She had enough of me since she didn’t want to come out yesterday, lol. She sat at the very front of the cage just observing everything. I let her see how I act with my other birds and kids, ect to let her get used to the surroundings.

Mine used to like to be touched by me for about five minutes and then she wanted to be back on her cage.

I don’t even care if she doesn’t like to be touched. But I would like her to be okay with handling instead of biting, lol
