Piggybacking off of @sunnysmom thread I figured I would post my fosters as well! I have Sadie the Eclectus, Basil the Senegal, and Porky and Pia the CAG's. Lets just say that my house is pretty interesting right now, haha.
Sadie is fairly quiet and reserved. She seems to prefer men and steps up onto a perch but not hands. She loves food and is very food motivated, which is so unlike Gillian. She hasn't had much personal interaction but I think she is starting to show interest. I think she will make a great bird for someone who understands the challenges of Eckies. She devours her fresh foods.
Basil is very comfortable around hands but only if she is close to her cage. Shes about 19 years old and has only had two homes her entire life; at least according to her intake records. She is also a really good eater and loves her fresh food. She started plucking after she was surrendered but we are hoping with the right diet, enrichment, and interaction she may come around. She's still cute and sweet, naked or not though.
Porky and Pia and semi bonded. Pia has picked most of her feathers, even chewing off her secondaries. They are both talkers. With four greys in the house the plethora of beeps, whistles, and conversations is really something. Harley is actually really interested in these two. Jasmine has been vocalizing with them and has picked up some of their whistles and beeps, and vice versa. Pia is the most cuddly grey I have ever met, its like she's a cockatoo in a grey body. She is very active and interested in everything that is going on, but gets overwhelmed easily. Porky is more nervous but wants to be close to Pia, even if that means flying across the room to get to her. He steps up but not from his cage, he will bite.
