Tycos_mom Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 :woohoo: Tyco actually let me cuddle her close tonight. I was in shock I invited a friend over tonight and I brought Tyco out to Introduce her to my friend. I took her back to her cage but she didn't want to be there and actally flew off my arm so she didn't have to. So I stepped her up and brought her back out to the living room she was on my arm faceing my friend and my friend was talking away to her Tyco was having a wonderful time. I was sitting on the couch with her and she backed up and laid her head and body up against mine. I could hardly beleive it. I said to my friend that she should come over more if this is how Tyco is going to behave.my friend said why is she not normally this affectionete I said she has never let me do anything more than give her a scritch before bed and a good morning scritch she has definatly never snuggled up to me like she did tonight I felt so close to her it was such an awesome feeling of love.{Love-000200DA}<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2008/10/27 11:19
judygram Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Aww that is so wonderful to hear and I know it made your evening, I bet you are on cloud nine, she is starting to return the feelings of bonding close to you, it just took her some time, what a breakthru with her. Keep up the good work Pat and congrats.
BaxtersMom Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 That is so sweet and I am so happy for you. All that love and care you have put into her is now being returned. This is wonderful news!
Anmlhggr Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 What great news! There is no feeling of love that compaires to that of being loved by a bird
danmcq Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Wonderful news on Tyco Pat, Congratulations!! :-)
cflanny Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 What a great breakthru!! I am so happy for you its such a wonderful feeling when they love you and need you !! Great news!!
Luvparrots Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 How exciting for both of you. It's always great to know when you are appreciated. Tyco and Pat sitting in a tree ...! Congralutions of this wonderful milestone.:cheer:
EFGriffith Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 What a beautiful post. It's so sweet to think about a bird wanting affectino from you, not just being an independent creature that entertains itself. They really are like little ones
Lyric Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I'm so happy for you! I bet it really did make you feel warm inside seeing that your work with her has accomplished so much. Maybe you'll end up with a cuddle bug grey, you'd be truly lucky to have one!
Hrund Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Wow, how amazing, I got tears in my eyes reading that. This is really a good week . Congratulations, it´s so wonderful to hear when such a breakthrough happens.
LaceyGrey Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 That's fantastic news! Congratulations and I hope your relationship continues to grow!
Tycos_mom Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 She definatly has her moments when she wants to be affectionate its not very often though I must say. When she does its so awesome I do hope that what happened last night will continue but today she was back to being her independent self again. I know that she loves me and trusts me and I guess thats the most important thing if she not always cuddely thats ok becuase when she is its very speciel because it doesn't happen very often Its such a awesome feeling when she lets you know she loves you as much as you love her.
danmcq Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Awwww, Pat. Tyco is like any woman, hot for you one moment and all cuddly, then a demon from hell the next few days. ;-) In all serious, you have done a great job in working with Tyco and bringing her out of her shell of fear. Karma to you!!
Sallas Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I think I am lucky as both of my birds are less than a year old, they are actually very cuddly (not cockatoo cuddly, but close). I think I am in for a shock when they get older
she Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 It makes you feel all warm inside when something like that happens.You are fantastic with those birds.
Tycos_mom Posted November 2, 2008 Author Posted November 2, 2008 With Tyco it seems like forever to get her to where she is. I got her last October 9th so its been a little over a year. I guess thats pretty good for a Grey with my other Rescues it only took a couple months. Greys take a lot longer and a lot more patients she was a tough little nut to crack I'm tellin you but worth every second of It I wouldn't change a thing. Shes my very speciel angel
