Sugarplum has been with us since Christmas eve 2019, and has always been quite hand shy. Because we got her as an adult, and because she's a lovebird, my partner and I were pretty sure that she would never enjoy being petted/snuggled, and we respected her boundaries.
BUT
Just now, as she was sitting in my hand nibbling on my thumb (gently, she likes to groom my fingernails) she buried her face into my palm and let me stroke her cheeks for almost 30 seconds. I am OVER THE MOON and needed to share my Canada Day miracle!!!
