I’ll take it that the congrats is for Birdie cos it def can’t be for me :laugh: He certainly won the lottery moving in here- unfortunately for me and Burt it puts me further behind in being able to follow my bird dreams of getting another Mac friend for Burt. Lmao I gotta learn to toughen up my heart!!

Birdie sure has attitoo'd...Guess you won;t be wearing sandals as much...:batnana:
Haha he’s gonna need to keep practicing his speed and coordination for a while longer so I’m safe for a short while yet I think lol. Just wish he’d decide if he wants to like or eat me and stop changing his mind at the drop of a hat!

Watching the video, the wing droop is noticeable. Did your vet say that Birdie will be able to improve in that with time and care?

Shezbug I love that you made this thread after everyone was like "whuuuuuuut Shezbug has got a too???!" in my thread hehehehe. :roflmao: Birdie is beautiful! I will ask my question here about the possible moluccan situation that I might plunge into.

How hard/easy is it for you to interpret Birdie's body language? What are some obvious signs of over-excitement and contentness? Does Birdie have a training background? What challenges have you had with Birdie apart from health?

I love him! Welcome to the 'too club! LOL. If you're not already crazy for getting one, they will make you crazy- but in a good way. ;) One of the biggest challenges for me is how unfood motivated they are. Elvis eats to live, definitely doesn't live to eat. So, you have to get creative with what will motivate them (generally praise). And I am currently going through a food struggle with Elvis now too. Although his diet was pretty good previously, he has now decided he hates everything but cashews. Sigh. So, I am in the process of trying to get his diet back on track. Not sure how we got off track to begin with. :rolleyes:

Birdie is so cute! He certainly looks like he's got a lot of character! I can see how special he is.
Do you know yet if his neurological issues and the wing problem can be corrected over time?

No :(
It sadly didn’t rain till it was too late in the evening and by then we were also having severe winds

Very unlikely but not certain

Birdie is a total mystery to me and has me quite baffled a lot actually lol. He’s been the only 2 I’ve ever met who is so hard to read that you can’t trust anything you think you might have seen/read. The vet said that he didn’t display any of the general expected responses and behaviours which was most likely connected to other issues.

Some of his issues have improved somewhat but they’re still obvious problems, no idea or expectations of what the future holds but we will do all the right things to give him the best chances and continue to hope for the best.

I have to agree with Karen, Birdie is looking much better in that video! Looks like he´s settled in really well and is happy :) Love the pic of him on the grass!! :swoon:

Am I caught up via this thread @Shezbug ? He's beautiful! I feel your struggle about saving things. Just separation and space have been the factors a few times this year. Otherwise I'd have a few secrets to confess as well. Who knew there were so many ekkies in a 10 mile radius...in Oklahoma?
