new timneh woohoo!

[Gio's daddy]

Hi everyone, I have been a bird lover for years. I have a white fronted amazon "rocko" that i adopted 5 years ago turns out he is a she. Lol but she knows her name so we kept it. Very old bird passed around a lot till we got her. Anyway my big news is the newest addition to the family a 4 year old timneh!! A boy named "gio" previous owner got him from breeder and hand feed and he is a fantastic bird! Really cant believe they let him go. From what the owner said gio did not get along with the wife and would also call for a favorite dog that had passed so they couldnt take it..I can kind of understand..but this bird is awesome! In fact my first awesome suprise was today, he had been eating a real bightly colored pellet food and I switched him today to the natural and he dove right in!! Still hasnt spoken to me but is whistling and doing sound effects. Im sure he's still trying to get a feel for us its only been 2 weeks. Sorry for being so long winded but excited and wanted to share!

Congratulations to you and to Gio for finding each other! Your previous parrot experience may have helped, but Gio sounds well adjusted to be making such a change without too much fuss. For him to change food in his new home is a plus. For only two weeks together, he must already be building a trust with you. Way to go!
