In the midst of losing Isla and Bee, 2 other birds have fallen into our laps (one of them being my dad's). I got Marley I believe in Januaryish, a lady in our facebook marketplace local group messaged me seeing I had birds and offered me him. She just plain didn't have the time he needed anymore since she was going back to school and already had several kids. Before you say it, yes I know I don't need more animals. I was very hesitant about it but he has been helping me move on from my 2 babies I've lost though I'll never fully be over them. He is gonna be a lot of work, he will NOT step up on hands, only on the perch I use to have him step up on. He has the typical quaker cage aggression but he's still very aggressive out of cage if you offer your hands at all. The lady I got him from said he was abused by the couple who had him before her, not sure how, I didn't ask as she seemed sensitive about the subject. He is disabled, it is pretty hard for him to perch as his left foot is deformed. He does pluck as well. He had a checkup and disease testing before he came into my house but I have yet to take him to our normal avian vet. He's very sweet to me besides my hands. He'll stay on my chest for hours and talk, whistle, dance, and kiss my face. If he flies onto the ground and I walk away he'll follow me like a little puppy. I do need advice to help him with hands though, his bites do NOT feel good. He has gotten on my hand willingly on his own accord once, and here was a picture of it
