Meet the newest member of the family - Goose! Goose 1.jpg
This little guy is a hilarious sweetie. He's so much different than my other birds; they don't behave like him at all.
He loves pulling out our arm hair, snuggling up under my chin or cuddling up to my neck, pooping on us, and eating millet and sunflower seeds.
Unfortunately he also seems to enjoy deliberately biting and pinching our knuckles and finger crotches. I knew when I adopted him that he didn't like fingers, I assumed he had been grabbed at, but he genuinely seems to enjoy biting hands. He goes out of his way sometimes to get on my hand to chomp on whatever skin he can get a hold of, as if my closed fist is a chew toy. When he takes treats from our fingers he's perfectly fine, but if you try to use your open hand to move him he bites.

How is the little one settling in? How are you finding adjusting his home for his feet?

He’s doing great! I was planning on getting him a new cage, but I’m not going to rush it because he acclimates well. The 3 different corner perches I put in for him arrived quickly and I couldn’t be happier with them. His elbow/knee area isn’t red like it was when I brought him home, and he’s becoming an even stronger flyer. He’s a little smartie pants too; I was able to teach him a trick in under 5 minutes.

Color mutations aren’t my strong suit; I have a couple of guesses, but can anyone confirm his?
