Hello, just joined. Happy to find a site for poi. I have a 6 month old brown headed parrot, Topper. He is DNA sexed. On Roudybush pellets, eats veggies and fruits, dried hot peppers and birdie bread, some cooked foods. He steps up really well on a stick. Not hand tamed yet, but has always permitted me to work in his cage as long as I don't force my hand in front of him. Topper likes to climb up to his cage top, eats his Nutriberries there, and just watch me. Later he climbs down and 'asks' to be transferred to the T stand by my laptop. I think he is beautiful. I also have a 7 month old parrotlet, Echo. She thinks she is much larger than Topper. She is not hand tamed either, but will tolerate a scritch; actually, she loves to have her head and beak scratched. When I open her cage, she flies right to my shoulder. Could stay there forever playing with her necklace. Echo is a character. Both birds have a bowl of play water every day, changed several times a day for Topper. They both take an occasional bath in their play water and drink from bottles. Get so much pleasure from them. I also volunteer one day a week at a local parrot rescue.
she's a dainty bather, didn't get much wet there
