Do Zack and Amanda physically interact with one another or just vocally? they are all beautiful. Thanks
NO... I always thought that Zack would do good with a little friend instead of being the only little bird. We find Mandy and bring her home and she has always been so aggressive towards Zack. I thought over time she would settle down but NO she hasn't. She will lung at him any time she gets the opportunity to. She is so jealous of him too. She acts ugly when I interact with him but he isn't that way when I interact with her. I tell him that he's got to stand up for himself but he doesn't do it, he just looks at me like Mom she's so mean.
Mandy was clipped on one wing and on the other wing all of the flight feathers were broken off down to the quills. I questioned what had happened supposedly she fell and broke them. She was always clipped so she has never flown. She would always just sit and beg to be picked up or moved to where ever she wanted to go, it was heart breaking. Every Vet that we have been to told me there was no reason why they shouldn't come back in. After many years 4 maybe 5 now she has finally gotten all of them back except for 2. Its really weird too because she will molt out the surrounding feathers just not those and molting has been an issue with her. Last year she molted pretty good and this year she has really molted. She has always been so protective of that wing. I tried to look the other night to see if the quills were still there and what the missing feather area looked like but every time I got close to getting the other feathers out of the way to look she would wiggle and I would have to start over. This weekend when I have some help I am going to check it out.
Any who... Zack can fly away from her if she goes after him. Mandy is flying a little now and getting better all the time. Once she is fully flighted it might get interesting around here. It is my hope that she won't want to spend every moment outside the cage trying to chase him down and try to get him. Here is what her wing looks like, well the 2 feathers that were coming in are in all the way now. The other pic is of her after she was manhandled, she gave me kisses and all was good.
