Shamelessmuse Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Hi all! I made a little introduction on the introduction forum. The short of it - I have my first Grey and of course went the more difficult road. I rescued. I am Greyce's thrid home in what looks to be three months. Yeesh! She was easy to handle at her last home and warmed up nicely there outside of being a touch nippy. Well, I've had her a week and rightfully so she is grumpy, confused and obviously hurt. She's been a little cage demon. Lunging when I change out food and water, ect. She will take treats from me, as long as they aren't small...small means getting a lunge. Well, today she came out!! I am thrilled!! She hung out for a bit on the door, climbed about the front of the cage. Watched Lily (my ity Chihuahua) with interest...and watched us interacting with more interest. Yea!! That is such a huge step for her!!
Hannah_Rae Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 YAY!!! I'm so glad things are going better. Good luck with your new baby's transition. -Hannah
judygram Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 This is wonderful news, soon she will be more willing to step up for you and eventually you will win her over, you are doing good, keep it up.
danmcq Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Wow, that is fast progress Shamelessmuse. It is actually HUGE progress when thinking about the many moves this poor Grey has been through in 3 months. Then to top it off, it comes to a final home (hopefully) with it's own personal guard dog, a cat licking it's lips and a chihuahua that is in love with him :-). That would take a little adjusting period for anyone :-) It sounds like you two have hit it off well as well as the rest of the "Flock" he will now know as "HIS". B)
MazyAK Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Shamelessmuse: That is great news. You are making great progress, just remember not to rush things. This bird will soon completely trust you. I can feel it. Goiod luck Bruce & Mazy
Tari Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 This is so great. I hope you keep making progress.
Acappella Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Congrats on your milestone and on giving Greyce a stable home. She sounds like a resilient little soul.
