JoeGrey Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 So we are now on week 3 of having Europa in our family. She continues to do good with me, walking across the top of her cage to whatever side I'm on. We got her a plate just for her for when we eat breakfast and dinner, and she comes down and joins us. She's letting met pick her up from the cage, floor or wherever she is. Until today, when she sits on my arm, she pretty much stayed on my hand or forearm. Today she decided to go walking up my arm and sitting on my shoulder every time I pick her up. It kind of freaks me out, coming from macaws that I never let on my shoulders. She is out of the cage pretty much all day, loves to be on the counter, table, top of her cage or door of her cage, but won't touch the bird stand I got for her. I even bought a perch and attached it to the outside of her cage, but she won't touch it, she purposely goes around it to sit on the top of the cage door. She's still making sounds and talking, mostly the second I leave the room, but also some while we watch tv or sit around. She says some funny stuff. We'll thanks for reading, just wanted to give a quick update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Europa is making a fast adjustment (for a grey). Sounds like things are going great! She may take an interest in the stand and the perch on the outside of her cage at a later date. Timber will ignore things like that for months, then decide to use them.

Luvparrots Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Looks like Europa is adjusting nicely. If the new perches have a way of placing Europa's favorite treat on them, that might help. But as others have posted it all has to come at Europa's pace. Just enjoy her great company and watch and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGrey Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just a quick pic of Europa relaxing on my leg while we watch tv. She's doing great at stepping up, always acts like she wants me to scratch her neck, but not sure I trust her yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
