Thank you all for the answers. First and foremost I truly understand that all birds are individual. In fact whenever asked about birds this is one of the first things I tell people when we talk about the different species. I also know that fids can change over time, Strawberry was everything bad that you had ever read about RB2. Except she wasn't loud or destructive. But in the last couple of years she has suddenly decided that she wants to be a pink sponge -- but on her terms.
What I have been told about Jasmine: she is not used to men, came from a female only home. Eats an entirely fresh diet, no seed and no pellets. The club will actually help us with paying for food. She is a very sweet bird and does not bite but will "beak" you if not happy with what you are doing. She seems to move in "slow motion." I do not know what this is about, could this be just because she has only been out of her only home for a week now? She loves sliced almonds and would seem to be a candidate for clicker training with food. She took a piece of almond from my hand last night which was the first sign that she would except men in her life. This was before I knew she was up for adoption.
We cannot believe that she did not start plucking because it is our understanding that she was not handled much in that last couple of years at all.
Jenni is not enthusiastic about bringing a new fid into the house with life stinking for us right now. But the people that are fostering Jasmine right now would really like it if we did it instead, I think they have fostered so many that they are burning out.
What was odd was that Jenni did seem more interested in the 6 year old Goffin's that the club expects to get next week. I find that odd because of how much trouble Goofy gives her.
While I am not sure I do think Goofy is a male, dark eyes, and the 6 yr old G2 is described as a boy also and a little sponge. Having 2 sponges in the house could be a problem. Though the one that the club is waiting for is used to a women owner so maybe it would be Jenni's and not mine. Also this G2 is one of the first birds that we are getting that has a legitimate reason for surrender, owner has cancer and cannot care for him anymore.
I fell in love with Jasmine the moment I saw her, and I knew I was in trouble when I found out she was in the adoption program. Life was much simpler when I thought she belonged to Lisa.
Of course I do fall in love with all unwanted birds having been an unwanted child myself.
After looking at the chart I believe Jasmine is a Vosmaeri Eclectus. I must have heard Lisa wrong. Jasmine had no eye ring and a yellow tail.

but that didn't seem to work. Jenni has already excepted the fact that another big bird is coming into the house. I warned Jenni not to let me go to the bird club on my own.
