Hello conure and other bird friends! Things have been going so well with our Stitchy. You have been so ridiculously helpful.
Here's the rundown:
-Haven't towelled him since I posted about it a couple weeks ago. I felt pretty silly about that by the way.
-He's definitely eating pellets. I've been giving him less seed; yesterday or the day before I saw him taking a pellet at a time and using his water bowl to dunk it to make it easier to eat, I assume.
-Vitamins added to water
-A few times since the weekend I've had my husband place him on my shoulder so we could hang out. it's such a delight! He whispers (literally) in your ear and preens my hair a little, and chews on my buttons or collar. He's not as comfortable with me as with my husband (who he really kind of snuggles with) but he seems happy. If I sense he's getting agitated I return him to his cage door 'perch.' We sat on the porch Sunday and he got a lot of sun, and he yelled a little in response to the wild birds.
-Since starting this shoulder thing, he's much less afraid/aggressive with me. I have been able to scratch/stroke his chest in the last few days where before he would chomp on me.
this photo had NO filter. His coloring came out looking intense against the red wall!
