Wisp Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) I don't have a lot of pics yet. Here's when we were going home And here's her in her cage She really want to go on my shoulder. I've let her do that for now but I'm not sure if I should allow that... Edited September 22, 2012 by Wisp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 What a cutie pie she is and just a baby with those dark eyes, you are going to love the rest of your life with her. Yes they all want to go to the shoulder, I would for the time being keep her off until you know her better, I do allow Josey on my shoulder but I can trust her and she doesn't go after ears, eyes and such, it is a priviledge that has to be earned and if she turns out to be one that constantly goes after ears and such then its best to keep her off, it is a personal choice.

Talon Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 How adorable. She's very pretty! I would have no problem allowing her on your shoulder. You follow your own instincts, there is no right way or wrong way. Just what works best for you. Just be careful, and keep your face turned away, neither one of you know each other enough to trust each other, and what seems like nothing to you could frighten her and her instinct would be to bite. Enjoy her, she's lovely, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 My greys, I allow on my shoulder as they not nibblers or biters. Now my zon is another story and so I watch him closely and shoo him off he decides to lock on to an ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisp Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I decided to wait a bit before shouldering and when I do I'll only allow her up there if I place her there. Having her try to run up my arms to get there is tiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayd Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 What a cool pic! Does that happen often or did you just happen to catch it?+ This is very common with our greys and other parrots, especially concerning Spock. I have one more movie of Spock and Freddy I'll post later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulder status, is for when your bird trusts you, and you trust the bird. Nancy If you don't allow your parrot on your shoulder, how will you know??? I'm sorry, there's no chart stating when a action or reaction will occur in a parrots life..A number of our parrots might nibble when on my shoulder and not Maggies or visa-versa......What works for you is what you do.....

Wingy Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Well Freddie your beautiful but chances are you wouldn't be on my shoulder for a long long while, if ever. My partner and I don't let Jake on shoulders for many reasons but mostly it is because we haven't learned enough about each other yet. The secondary reason being we are working step up and down to a forearm instead of a hand. (I have nerve damage in my hands that is progressively worsening) Once we have the arm established for up and down and if he learns to move to the forearm when asked we can see about shoulder sitting. As everyone has said this is personal preference. Ours is just based on my current and future physical issues.

Wise women....LOL, Freddy's about 21yr's old now, and has never bitten us, this was posted in fun, It took Maggie 2yr's before he would step up, he was abused in the worst ways....Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
