Parrotdise Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It's been just over 2 months since Gilbert(whom we now call Gil)came to live with us. So so much has changed Gil doesn't pluck anymore,and he's getting in lots of new beautiful feathers. He isn't threatening to bite my hubby anymore He steps up out of his cage for me He's still a little nervous about new toys,but that is getting better everyday And finally He's no longer a seed junkie. He's not eating most fresh veggies yet,but he loves warm tender veggies,beans,rice. He likes eggs,and tortilla. And adores fruits. We now have a nice little routine where he comes and eats breakfast and lunch wtih me at the table. It's not safe for him or the kids(because he still does not like the children)for him to eat dinner with us. He's talking and picking up new words,and letting us hear new phrases all the time. The one I love the most is him telling us"Good bye,see ya later"when he notices someone getting on their shoes. It's so so cute Other then that we're still plugging away and every single day is getting better and better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks Sarah for a wonderful update on Gil, he sounds like a real sweetheart and he has come a long way in a short period of time. Do not worry if he has a relapse and plucks some for it happens, the important thing is not to make a deal of it, ignore it but you may have turned him around hopefully that is a thing of the past. Congrats on getting him on more veggies and if he likes them warm and tender then warm and tender will be what he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
