Hello all!
I just wanted to check in with an update on how Ava is doing, for anyone that is interested!
I wouldn't say we had a rough start, but there was some issues in the begining. She was very scared of me and any noice in the appartement, as well as the wild birds outside the windows. This led me to re-do my entire appartement to fit her needs (the things we do for love, right?) and I saw an imidiate improvement! She stopped the scared/angry screeching, and was comfortable enough to start exploring me and her new home.
She is super affectionate! Yesterday she sat on my shoulder for three hours, preening while I was writing. She loves getting headscratches, and when I forget to give her some, she. will. rubb. her. tiny. head. on. my. cheek! I feel like the luckiest person on earth!
She was (still is) a picky eater and would only eat pellets and apples, no other fresh fruit and REALLY not any vegetables. However, she is very interested in the food I'm eating. I survive on junkfood alone, but has become a sallad person just for her. Now she loves veggies!
She is my first bird and I spend alot of time researching. It can be kinda frustrating how much contradictory information is out there (e.g. Asparagus is safe, no - it's deadly) but I try to check for sources (any recomnendations for reliable sources on what is safe vs. not?).
She does not like music or batheing, which is surprising to me. But we are working on that!
Hope everyone and their Pi's are safe and happy in these times!
Cheers // Isabelle

There are so many vegetables that are safe that I tend to steer clear of any that do have contradictory information. There are plenty of options without them.
keep the pictures coming
