I'm having some behavioural roblems with Roger the Rosella (barbering). He's been doing this since Tau the Tiel left us and he has been alone. Sadly he still doesn't see me as a friend.
We tried introducing tiels and he rejected them so he's had a few days away to find his new friends. And here they are:
p
At the top we have Marcy. She's special in her own right. As a chick she was just dumped on the vet's reception counter and abandoned. On examination the vet found this little girl, splayed legs and dislocated left wing. After splinting her legs and fixing the wing she was placed with a 6 year old chick and reared to where we are today. Both birds are a package because of the issues Marcy still has.
She's a Dominant Pied Cobalt Greywing. You can see in the photo she still has trouble perching. She 'hangs' off the back of perches resting her belly to keep balanced. This will improve, but not much. Her grip is weak so following the vet's advice the roost perch is back to being a dowel.
At the bottom we have Marcy, a constant companion and 'nurse' since the two met. She's not soft on Darcy though, she still has to find her own food and water, but she's never taken her attention away from Darcy. They play happily but if I approach the cage too fast she'll find Darcy and get between us. Marcy is a Sky Blue Spangle SF Yellowface II. To me she is a patchwork of yellow, green, white, blue and grey.
That's all for now. There WILL be more to come.
