After 7 Years Caged Bound

[petite0ne]

Through the past 7 years of his life, the only previous exposure Buddy has had to the outside of his cage has been toweled by a visiting vet to have his little nails, beak and wings clipped & to have his annual blood work done. These could not have been pleasant experiences for him. I am simply amazed at the progress Bud has made in these last 3 months! I think over this time, he has carefully sized us up and has decided we are trustworthy Here we thought we needed to give him time to adjust to his new surroundings. In actuality, he has been waiting on us!! LOL! Buddy is raring to go and is making more and more progress daily. He has been out now everyday since our first excursion. He is now exploring his toys on the floor and traveling back and forth on Dan's arm! I honestly did not think I would see any of this progress for months yet. He knows we are ready for him and ol' Bud is not wasting anytime making up for lost time!

I think my brother is looking down from heaven with a huge smile on his face while whispering encouraging words in Buddy's "ear" - "Go For It, Buddy!!"
