Hi Everyone - Sorry it took me so long to get this done today. Work was super busy after being closed for 3 days! I had time to download the pics to photobucket but that was it. I didn't even really have a chance to come on the forum all day! My candy cases are empty! It's been a busy month. So I will be very busy making chocolate for the next few days. LOL!

I got home about 9:30 last night and I was so happy to see Quincy & Savannah. I let them out for half hour even though it was late! They went to work with me today so I could spend some time with them! :D

Anyway, the visit went great. There were some contractors there and Linda told me that they make Coqui a bit agitated and I do believe she was on edge a bit. She was covered up when I got there. They were trying to calm her down while the contractors were upstairs.

She was all puffed up when they removed the cover. But she came right up to the bars to see us. Linda was able to get her out onto her portable perch and we all went on the enclosed porch to have lunch. Coqui played on her play gym. I talked to her off and on. She is very animated! I loved watching her. Linda said this was the best she has ever been around strangers. I told her, she knew parrot people when she saw them. LOL! ;) We all felt this was a great sign! Me, my hubby and kids were all there. So I thought she did very well!

I was able to talk to Coqui alone for a few minutes when everyone was inside. She really was listening and was lifting her claw now and then. I didn't try to have her step up just yet. I was going to just give Coqui her space for now. Linda came back and sat down and I raised my arm up to Coqui to check me out. She played with my watch then rubbed her beak on the side of my arm gently and then started tapping her beak on my arm, which I discovered was her regurgitation motion! I thought these were all very good signs that we are going to get along just fine! So all in all a really positive visit! With a little time a patience we will be buddies in no time!

Here are some pics!

Right before this pic was taken, Coqui was looking at me upside down. So I joined her. She was so darn cute!

Thanks everyone! She is a great girl! :D

Terri - You never know, I just might. ;)

Wendy - LOL! Maybe she would be willing to have a long distance relationship. ;) I'm sure Niko could handle that! ;)
 
I am happy your visit went well with your pending adoption of Coqui. I am sure meeting her and the family was exciting and wonderful. I bet you can't wait to bring her home.

She is a very beautiful and healthy looking parrot. You took some very nice pictures of her. Thank you for sharing.
