Hello again... well today has been productive! I got her some toys so its not just her and perch all day when i'm at work! Shes not to sure about the swing yet though. I have had her out of her cage since I got home. AND I cooked up some pasta because I heard that she liked it. Let me tell you she does! I don't want her to be unhealthy so how much is to much? as in spaghetti noodles. How much can I give her? I didn't give her much now, I thought I would ask first. Pictures are being uploaded now and I will post for all to see asap. My Mother does not know about her yet. but we will be giving her Sassy a little bit before Christmas. I am pretty certain I will be able to give her up, but this isn't so say I won't be visiting her often. My mom is 65 miles away and it wouldn't be very easy have her spend time with sassy until we surprise her. I would probably giver her to her sooner but she is a combo gift from my brother and I, and my brother HAS to be there when she gets her. He lives in California so when he comes home for Christmas we will be surprising her.

STEP UP IS AWESOME! She came right to me... got her out of the cage and everything with no bites! now I don't want to go to bed... Can't wait until I can spend more time with her tomorrow.

Thank you all for your responses! New breakthrough... Sassy can dance! haha. Unfortunately I can't whistle because she likes it. I am going to try to learn now. I just moved in to my house in Dearborn, MI. back to the dancing. A friend just came by to see my new house and he was whistling different tunes and she started bobbing up and down and whistling back! To clear things up. I have had Sassy for only a day and a half now. I know you have to go slow and thank you for all your help already. I will try opening the cage thing and see how it goes. I will get you guys some pictures tomorrow. to show how far we have gone, As soon as put my hand in the cage her head goes down and I can pet her head neck and upper back. I have held her out of her cage and whatnot with no problem before I got her. She likes apple peels and grapes. doesn't like broccoli, and carrots. I'll read around and post more questions in the other areas. EDIT: talked to sellers and she does know the step up command.<br><br>Post edited by: pyrowaves, at: 2008/10/28 03:24

Hey everyone. My name is Trever. from michigan. I just yesterday picked up a female CAG approx 13 years old. I'll be keeping her until Christmas when she will be going to her permanent owner, My mom. First off let me say My mom will LOVE this bird and know ALOT more how to take care of her than I because shes had many birds in her life and has ALWAYS wanted an AG. Me however, Am VERY new to the bird owning thing and am trying to get all the information I can. Her name is Sassy and was originally a pet, and the breeders I got her from are friends of a friend. They planned to use her as a breeder but she didn't want anything to do with that and only wanted to be a pet. (Gets a long with people/pets etc. not as much with other birds.) First problem I have now is i'm not sure when to try to get her out of her cage. I'm not sure if shes just not comfortable or what. I have tried once and shes biting some. I can pet her head and neck with no problem right now. when is the best time to go further? I'll add more info and questions later but someone is at the door and I have to go.
