Progress

Posted August 30, 200717 yr

Well,

I thought l'd make a post because a stepping stone has just been crossed.

Sherbet was letting me stroke her chest gently and she was sitting on my finger at times, but tonight was the first time she let me pat her lightly on the back of her head. She knew my finger was there, l showed her my finger, then put it behind her head and she just sat there. Once she fluffed up her feathers behind her head so l could scratch her better (thats what l thought anyway).

She loves millet - l put some in her cage, and before l even had time to tie it up to the side of the cage, she had started getting into it! She loves it to bits. How often should l be giving her millet?

Also - l have a skirt and this band (made out of cotton or wool or something) and she keeps on chewing on it - is this bad for her?

But other than that, l'm pleased with her progress. She doesn't sit on my finger during the day though She's too full of engergy and just bounces from perch to perch when l put my finger in her cage!
