My vet's personal bird is an OWA and he swears by them. Like someone else said Dr. claims that they are very underrated.

Thanks for taking her into your heart and home.

Soooooo...... How is Lucy taking the new addition?

I wonder if your wife will be better friends with Miss Birdie Sue since Lucy claims you.

Well so far they just listen intently for each other since we have them in seperate bedrooms.
Lucy has really gotten better with my wife, especially since my wife isnt scared of her anymore. But yes she still prefers me, but she will let us all pick her up
and carry her around and whatever. I hope Miss Birdy Sue is the same way, I was told she prefers women but the ladys son could handle her and she liked him.
Time will tell Im sure, she seems to like all of us so far.

Making progress, she took the nutriberry from my hand from inside the cage and not through the bars. We are still struggling with her diet trying to get her to eat veggies and pellets and get off the all seed diet she was on. She steps up when she wants to and she has been doing some laughing. Shes a sweet girl, just going to take time :)

aww, she does look like a sweet girl.
and what a beautiful perch she's got there!
Have you tried offering whole sugar snap peas in the pod? My grocery store sells them, and my OWA girl loves them.
She also likes celery sticks and carrot sticks.
