unabo Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi, My name is Lara and Im from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. My parrot is 15 years old, and before I took him, he was with German ambassador, and then in school hall (school for kids with some disabilities, mental disorder, autism and behavioral problems) and then saved from that school by my friend. I met Miko 3 months ago, and he was in his cage, very nervous, my friend told me that he is very agressive and he hates man. But, since Im psychologist, I didnt gave up on him, like everyone else. I think that he is traumatized by that children, because kids in that school are boys, mostly, and this is the reason why he hates man. Anyhow, I started working with him, and now he is most of the time out of his cage (now his cage is open and he can go in and out, before it was closed) He is talking more and more, learning new words, his feathers is much much prettier. He was so alone, and everyone was scared of him, but he is so nice (most of the time, when he is not biting) and cuddling little creature. So, guys, this is Me and Miko. I really need your help, because this is my first bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywings Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 He is a handsome little grey guy. Good job taking him in and you will find a great deal of helpful information about birds from difficult backgrounds that may be helpful. It will be fun to hear insights on living with a traumatized Grey from someone with your training. Lots of food ideas and foraging hints here as well. Welcome indeed.
