Steps up every single time, never bites, does occasionally scream and it's pretty obnoxious, friendly, but not overtly so, does talk in a munchkin voice only when it pleases but it's super cute. Asking $800, paid $998 at a pet store, does have funky toes, and is afraid of falling, but doesn't even try to bite when losing balance, really is a great bird for anyone afraid of getting bit badly. Comes with a nice cage that locks. perfect feather. likes carrots a lot, and is on a diet of Lafeber pellets and a mostly safflower seed mix, does get greens too like Kale and green beans although "she" prefers carrots. NOT DNA sexed, but we think it's a female. Her name is Baby Sky. We are in Southern California, no shipping.
