There is always bustling fun at the rescue so I thought I would chat about it a bit. Let me know if this is interesting to read about? I'm not sure if anyone would enjoy lol
Me and one of our female blue-and-golds are becoming friends. She is mostly naked, only has head feathers and flight feathers. She steps up for me. I sat with her on the back of my chair, feeding her nuts and scritching her head. We are becoming more comfortable together. She makes little hiss/whoosh noises and pins her eyes, but in a friendly way. She says hello... rarely. And she's HEAVY.
We have some really nice little birds right now. When I go in to feed and water them I let a bunch up them out and we have a ball. Lots of them fly to my head, shoulder, or hang off my clothes.
Several of the quakers are fun, friendly, good birds. I love our newest one! He is glued to my shoulder, playing with my earrings and shirt. He gives kisses and lets me do just about anything to him. Snuggles, kisses, scritches. He can be fiesty, has flown to people when they walk in and bit them. Possibly possessive over me. But I can't get over how sweet he is.
Another quaker is such a well-mannered girl. She is an angel with nearly everyone. Flies around, likes being pet, steps up reliably, flies to shoulders and heads. Quiet and gentle. She is a good, good girl.
One isn't hand-tame, but follows me around the room. He will ride on my head and shoulder for a good while. He plays peekaboo and gives kisses as well. I had to towel him recently to put him in his cage, so I sat down and got some of his head pin feathers. He had so many, total porcupine. He closed his eyes for a part of it.
A lot of our Toos are friendly, but we have a female umbrella (part of a bonded pair) who is sweet as pie to most women. She likes walking on the floor to me, untying my shoes and destroying the laces, climbing up my jeans, and playing/feeling the fabric of my clothes. She likes to stick her head down my shirt, it tickles. She loves to dance too and has a sweet voice.
