We adopted a new baby quaker named skittles and have had her for less than 24 hrs. She wants to be on our shoulders constantly and absolutely does not want in her cage. She is 8 weeks old and we are giving her formula twice a day. She doesn't seem interested in eating and wants to explore and fly and do whatever she wants. She's the sweetest little girl and we love her however I'm concerned about her being unhappy in her cage. We put her in a box next to our bed last night and she slept but we had a hard time getting her to get to sleep due to her busy exploring. We also had a hard time with the feeding last night and getting her to eat. She seems extremely agitated and mad when we put her in her cage. I feel like we are making her stay in her cage to get used to it which makes her seem very unhappy. I just want to take her out and sit on my shoulder but she can't do that 24/7. When she is on our shoulders or doing what she wants she is perfectly happy and content. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
