The first week has gone well, I think. Claire is timid and easily scares. She will talk when there is a lot of noise in room, like doing dishes, etc. She mimics the previous owners husbands voice, especially when he would answer the telephone. It's a very deep male voice, which is funny. Lots of pretty whistles and calls (what I would call "jungle calls") She shows some preference towards me as opposed to my three teens and husband. She will let me pet her head and she will "beak" my finger. She hisses and growls at my husband, though. Especially when we are both around.
I've let her out twice. Only twice because it's difficult to get her back in cage. Today though, she did get on my hand, then walked to shoulder where she hung out for a while. We'll keep working at it.
She seems to be eating well and enjoys fruits and vegetables.
thanks again, any other advice is much appreciated!
