i was gifted with a beautiful 8 week old pacific parrotlet. I have been reading everything I can to learn about her care and to be sure I am a good mama to her. Sadly, I was told by a bird owner to handle her right away. To reach in and grab her. I should have listened to my gut as it didn’t feel right. It is did it twice. It felt so awful to me so I knew it felt worse to her. A week has gone by and I have been sitting near her cage, singing to her, calmly talking to her. She seems a little less startled now when I change the paper on the bottom of her cage. I have read to let her trust my hand. I pray I can do that. Poor little thing. Today she let me change the paper in her cage and she just watched so I’m hoping we are on a better track now. I’ve only had her a week but I love her already. I got her a cuddle bone and a rope perch. I only put the cuddle bone in for now as I didn’t want to startle her with two new things in her cage. If you are able to guide me to where she will sit on my finger and shoulder I would be so happy. I know it will take a while but I will give her all the time she needs. Thank you in advance for all your help.
