It seems like Cocoa has never read the books on Amazons. She sat on the front porch with me this morning cuddling into my chest and let me rub her head for 40 minutes. I got all the visible pinnies out. I have never seen such a hands on bird. If my hand even passes in front of her, she lifts a foot to step up. She prefers to be hand fed - something I know I have to wean her off. She "talks" all the time but so far has never been loud. She has absolutely no cage agression.
The vet from the shelter contacted me and next week, he is sending the lab results for all of the tests he did so I can pass them on to my vet.
So far I feel so incredibly lucky. I had expected her to take a long time to come round and maybe never be hands on. The shelter kept stressing that she bit and couldn't be handled. It is so odd. She has become a bit more assertive (she wants to sit on the back of my wingback chairs and I would prefer she stay on the arms so we have a little friendly battle of the wills going on) but I keep waiting for the shoe to drop. Maybe in the spring with hormones? Or could she really be this mellow?
