kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 While Kiki is missing, we are all concerned for Sunny, our rescue. Kiki made all the difference in Sunny's life, when Kiki came home as a baby. He immediately fell in love.She always snuggled him. Now that she is missing, Sophie is kind to him, but doesn't give him the attention that Kiki did. I find him snuggled under newspapers at the bottom of his cage. I never put in the grate, because they didn't need it. What can I do to help Sunny. I don't want to put in the grate to separate him from newspaper, as he snuggles under the newspaper. What kind of house can I get for him? It is soooo hard here without Kiki. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Aww. How sad. I would get a fleece hut. It's comforting, and after a while, you may find she loves it like my Talon does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Nancy I know that BU had bottomless cabanas that hang over a perch. I like them because there is nothing to catch a toe nail or piles of poop in the bottom. A snugglie is a great idea and a preening toy or two wouldn't hurt.

JeffNOK Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I feel for you Nancy--and Sunny and your son. I know how hard it has been. Still hoping for a happy ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I use to use sleep huts for my parrots when they were younger. http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=parrot+sleep+huts&fr=chr-frontier-s&toggle=1&cop=&hspart=frontier&hsimp=yhs-frontier1&type=frontier_portal_sa&ei=UTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thanks all! I will try the sleeping hut. Ryan who is off at college year round, is skyping every two days with Sunny and Sophie. While they are both excited... I think it makes all the difference for Sunny, as he is Ryan's bird. They have been bonded since Ryan was nine years old. I have started taking Sunny to the shower. A new experience for me and Sunny! He had " newspaper head", and I told my younger son, who usually showers Sunny since Ryan went off to college, to get him. He said... " are you sure?" I said yes, get Sunny! He was hesitant for about one minute! He trusts me, but wasn't sure of the shower thing! LOL! I couldn't get him out. He was having soooo much fun.Sunny is trusting me more. He knows I feed him and won't bite me, but now I find myself in a totally different roll, and he is giving me a chance. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Keep positive that Kiki will be found but Sunny will adjust no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 A clean feather duster hung upside down at the end of a perch can be helpful as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Kiki is still gone! I have tried several suggestions, but Sunny is still into having the newpaper on top of his head. I am happy he is eating well Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
