Walking the driveway
Oh.
My.
Gawds.
Two hours in the car and about 15 minutes at home, and I am absolutely flabbergasted at how curious my last parrotlet (who came to me from less-than-ideal, but not terrible, circumstances) wasn't.
On her ride home, she was a puffed up little ball of feathers indistinguishable from a statue of a parrotlet only by the occasional shiver or clumsy-baby falling off the perch.
This little guy was clicking and chirping, watching out the windows, exploring the cage, investigating how the perch is attached to the side, eating and drinking (milletmilletmilletmillet omg he got an entire stick of millet, all to himself! He even tried to pick it up and drag it up to his perch at one point. XD )
When we got home, I got one of the new toys we bought yesterday, and hung it in the travel cage (didn't want it swinging around during the drive. And his big boy palace-cage is still drying after being sanitized.) After the initial 'whoah wait what is that what are you doing?' flutter around the perimeter of the cage, it took about thirty seconds before he was perched on top of the toy and chewing at it curiously. And he even stepped up! (Followed rapidly by stepping down, but that's just fine with me haha)
He is now taking a very well-deserved nap. <3
I think we will probably be going with Tyrallon/Tyr for a name. So far it seems to fit best.
And of course... pics!
So bright-eyed and alert!
He kept getting into this 'surfing' pose that I thought was just hilarious
Home safe and sound, so of course.. naptime.
