Luvparrots Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I am totally stoked!!!! Louie has come out of the Bird Room and into my office which is right across the hall!!!!! I cannot believe it. Of course, Ana Grey is not too happy about this Louie Adventure as the office is "her' space with me. She is challenging and flying at him and he is beaking back. I have to be really vigilant right now so there is no real damage done to either one (especially littler Ana Grey). I am just happy that Louie has finally decided that he is comfortable enough (after 4 months) to venture out. He has also been reaching out to me lately which I try to encourage!!!! Baby steps, but it is so hard to be patient!!!!!
Ray P Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I new this day would come. And there is lots more to come with a zon. I am glad for you. Ray
Luvparrots Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks RayP, I know you understand how much this means to me as Cricket is a re-homed also!!!! Big smiles all over!!!!
rbpittman Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I'm right there with you and totally elated for you as well. Morgan has finally started letting me get near him. He was stepping up (while grumbling loudly) while hand feeding, but after that stopped he really did so begrudgingly. In the last two weeks he's decided that I'm not the big bad wolf after all and will step up more readily and without the grumbles. Congratulations on the breakthrough. I know you are over the moon with this one!
Luvparrots Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks Robin and congrats on Morgan's breakthroughs too!!!! Little steps, they are so rewarding but so hard to wait for!!!!!
birdhouse Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 O!K! Way To Go Louie!! You're looking all handsome sitting there. Ana Grey got her feathers a little ruffled. Janet's doing the Dance of Joy! Yep! Very good stuff!
judygram Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Janet I know you have worked long and hard for this day and I am so glad Louie is finally coming around and wanting some interaction with you, perfect example of how it is so important to allow a rehomed bird to adjust to their new surroundings and I see more advances in your and Louie's future, Ana Grey and Louie look good on the boing together.
Luvparrots Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 Louie really wants to be my friend but he is still not quite sure. If I try get too close to him he will strike at me, not with an open or tip of his beak but a tap as a warning. It doesn't hurt but it let's me know Louie is not ready to trust me yet! Here he is eating a fresh snap pea!!!!
judygram Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Give him time Janet, I know you have had him for a while, this is a challenge but one well worth it when it happens, Louie wants it and you want it, he just needs more time to convince him you are trustworthy, he looks nice there on that perch.
Luvparrots Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Thank you Karen!!!!! Will be checking out Chilli Pepper's posts!!!!
katana600 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Silly boy Louie, he is just starting to recognize he is in a loving home? He is just playing hard-to-get so you will appreciate it all the more when he has you wrapped around his littlest toe. You are greatly respected for your love and patience.
