roxie went to the avian vet he was very informative she was an angel and he said we are lucky to have one so laid back i asked about her flying or lack of it and we looked at her wing seems she had an accident when she was young and it was not checked out so she will never fly. well i feed and clean her out etc but it is my husband whom she loves so i get him eating apples etc in front of her then give her some and she has been eating fruit that way. she is happy enough she is out of her cage all day on her playstand but i keep it next to her cage so she can go in and out as she pleases
