Hello! It will be two weeks tomorrow since Opie came to live with us. I will attach a picture. You can see his feather growth on his leg and breast. I think he is happy with us here so far. He is so much fun to have here with us and we are really enjoying him! <br><br>Post edited by: HeatherArvay, at: 2008/04/12 02:53

Thank you all for such a warm welcome! I will add some pics of Opie soon. Judy, yes, Opie does seem to be adjusting well. He went into rescue fairly bald. My friend Kim that works rescue kept him at her house for about a year and socialized him and helped him and he is fuzzy and has a few feathers on his breast and legs coming in. He hasn't plucked at our house and seems very content. I would like him to continue growing his beautiful feathers though. It took Opie a few days to trust me and start stepping up but he is doing great. We do not have any other birds at our house. My husband and I have a four year old (Aidan), a three year old (Alex), and a dog (Brin). Kim that works rescue is also Aidan and Alex's preschool teacher. Aidan and Alex both took a liking to Opie when she brought him in to school (she did this often so he is used to being around the little ones). It worked out that we were able to bring him home and for him to join our family! Kim came to visit him today and she was thrilled to see him happy and doing so well. I look forward to reading through more of the information and chatting with you all soon! Thanks!

Hello to all! Thank you for a wonderful website! Opie came to live with us about a week ago. He is a rescue/rehome and is about two years old. Opie is doing well, he seems very happy and is talking a good bit. He has already picked up my laugh and my three year old sons whine. We are thrilled to have him here! I look forward to learning from you all and taking in all of the information on this site! Thanks, Heather
