UPDATED 2013:
Gender: still not DNA tested - hope she's a girl
Current Age: 3 years, 4 months
Age at which you acquired: 4 months
Eye color - whitish gray (has not really darkened)
Weight: 152 g (She is flighted now, so has acquired a lot more muscle. Also recently decided/discovered she's also overweight, so we've been working on that! Vet said healthy weight was 147g for her)
Favorite foods: still on zupreem pellets, loves nutriberries, blueberries, grapes, papaya, she refuses to eat most greens
Temperament: We've gone through a lot of rough times to be honest! She hated my boyfriend for the first 8 months, he was unable to touch her. Then, she decided she loved him and hated me for a while. Now we are balanced and she flies to both of us, very rarely bites, and loves us BOTH! She will step up from our hand to a female stranger and will whistle and smooch for a female as well. Males will be ripped apart if they try to touch her, lol. She was VERY shy and nervous about new things/people/places for a long time, but I think being flighted has changed that. She is pretty confident with her environment and is open to exploring, doesn't take long to try a new perch, toy, counter top, surface. Most times, she just wants to be where we are and is content with being pet or just napping on our arms.
This one's a video, if you click it. It's her in her travel cage on the porch getting some sun and she decided for once not to be camera shy! The first noise you hear is a phone camera shutter since she sees me recording, then some smooches, wolf whistle.. You can tell which are me & which are her. She doesn't talk, but these are her favorite noises to do.
