the big Move

[Tycos_mom]

Today I did somthing I've been meaning todo for months. I moved Gizmo to a more flock oriented spot. He was in the dining room because that was the eaisest room to move his cage to after his Quaritine but we don't really hang out in that area of the house and even though he had a nice bright cheerful spot and we had to walk by him to go to the bathroom or the laundryroom and he could see me when I was working in the kitchen I also made a point of spending an hour or so everyday of one on one and then another couple 10 to 15 minutes at other times he wasn't really in a spot where he was a part of everything. I didn't do it sooner because he has a enormas play top cage 40x30x 54 and I don't have a man around and it had to be moved up 3 stairs so I've been putting it off. But today I did it with the help of my daughter I got a good bite from Gizmo also he drew a bit of blood. but now he's in the perfect spot where he's with me and the rest of the birds. I asked him if he was happy and he scurryed up to the roof of his cage and hung by one toe and swung back and forth say happy happy happy. So I took it that he is So I think he will progress allot faster now I just hope he doesn't get nippy because he's in a spot where we have to walk right beside the door of his cage to go to the washroom all he has to do is reach out and grab if he has a mind too. We will see how he does I may have to switch places with him and my Indian ringneck but its been a few hours now and he's being a really good boy so we will see how it goes. I think I might just change his name also I really don't likethe name Gizmo it it makes him sound like he's some kind of gaget rather than a beautiful Macaw besides that it doesn't go with the rest of my flocks names like Raja, Adaya you understand plus I figure new home let wipe out everything from his abusive past and start completely fresh. Now I going to need some sujestion I was thinking of mabie O'Mally because he's a beautiful Emerald green just like the emerald Isle and O'Mally's a good Emerald Isle name<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/05/18 05:25
