Update on the prettiest lil parrot in town! As some of you might know, I (a lifelong dog person with an unfulfilled soft spot for birds) got a budgie literally dropped on my lap by one of the aforementioned dogs last weekend. Despite being unharmed (and not getting a gram infection, thank god) I was a little concerned by how quiet and inactive he was.
Well, not anymore! Here's a Very Serious Conversation taking place this morning:
He's still not the most vocal or active of birds, but he answers me when I whistle and kicks up a racket if I'm too long away from the room. When I read or sing to him he makes the cutest, quietest little chirps.
I got him to eat very young sprouts, and I'm hoping with time that'll serve as an avenue to get some veggies in him.
We're bonding nicely – for what I know, at least. I spend a lot of time with him (upside of quarentine) and he lets me get real close without getting agitated. I read and sing to him most of the afternoon and as soon as I start he fluffs up, gets into a legstand and quietly chirps along. It's the sweetest.
The search for his previous owner continues (thankfully) fruitless. I'm doing all I can, but I'm so in love with the little guy, I really hope he was released, not lost
Tagging @Monica @Dorcas George @tka and @Ulis_Beast since they gave me such wonderful feedback last time <3
