My New Parrot Has Lost Her Love of Her Life…
Hello! I have recently taken a parrot out of an EXTREMELY neglectful environment. she used to have a friend that she loved more than anything with her. I felt that was at least a little more acceptable that they were never taken out of their cage or played with or anything bcuz at least they had each other. And if the male ever did get taken out of the cage the female would scream soooooo loudly and shake uncontrollably until he was put back in. But when he died recently my birds old owner kept her in the same cage and just covered her up day and night. I was sooo sad for her bcuz she just had to sit there and think about her friend being gone. So although I live in an apartment I made it work to be able to take her home and she has full run of the apartment now. She is 20 according to her band on her ankle and she’s never been hand trained before. But I’ve put so many hours into getting this bird to like me and she’s coming around thank god… she has serious cage anxiety bcuz she was locked in a small cage for like four years and never let out once. So I don’t cage her at all. I leave her cage door open at all times and she only goes in her cage to eat but makes a terribly sad sound the entire time she is in the cage always bcuz she’s still scared of being shut in I think. She has an entirely pink body due to ripping all of her feathers out.,,but she’s getting so much better already. I’m just wondering if I should look into getting her another male friend or not? Please help!
