So this I got to pick up my baby green cheek! This handsome little fella was all over the place in the carrier when I picked him up from the breeder, but settled down once we were on the way home. Once we got home I quietly tried to coax him out of his carrier, but he had a different idea. He made a break for it and jumped right over my hand to freedom. Don’t worry, I quickly was able to get him into his cage. For the first two hours the poor baby stood in the corner of the cage sleeping and perching quietly. I hung out with him that whole time just talking quietly and playing some classical music for him as he napped. After a few hours I started to get worried that he wasnt moving around, or eating and drinking. So I decided to leave the room for a while to see what he would do. I watched from my iphone through the camera I set up to watch him, and after 5 minutes of me being gone the little critter decided to explore his cage. What a relief! So for the past few hours I have been going to visit him every half hour, and everytime I step in the room he freezes . The poor thing is soo shy! But there has been some progress! The last two times I have gone to visit he has let me pet his little head. So I guess so far so good.
I also brought in my other green cheek for a quick second to say hi to his new little brother and he seemed quite excited to get to him! But hes gonna have to wait 30 days to officially meet his little brother.
Any tips would be great when dealing with a shy baby! My first one was the complete opposite the first day I got him.
