Meeting neighbors
Patience is the one thing we have a lot of. Yes, I guess this has become sort of a journal/help me, hasnt it so tonight he got very excited that his boyfriend (my chiweenie) was on my sons lap right nest to the cage (which we basically leave open almost all the time unless were away or sleeping) and he leaped/flew off to join them. But again, crash bandicoot, though getting stronger, still has little control and missed the target so flapped to the nearest landing pad. After bringing him to visit with the furfriend (which always makes him extremely happy) he flew off again and one more saving and he scooted to my shoulder where he is currently hanging out. I shared millet with him while he was up there (i am not above bribery) and he frequently is fussing at me but strangely seems happy to be there while he cleans up the dropped millet on my shoulder. Id like to think he's finishing telling me off for using a perch and making him mad. Oh the interesting rollercoaster life of teaching this little guy that we love him and gaining his trust OH, yes, Ive been scouring pictures of perches and am getting some ideas. I like the idea of natural branches (we have a crepe myrtle tree) and of building a PVC perch as well. He loves his toys so I think that would be an excellent idea. I do believe the cage is part of our problem. Thank you again for all the insight and encouragement from everyone!
