Congrats! While I cannot fault anyone for getting a bird directly from a responsible breeder, (as we too had originally planned) I think there's something lovely about giving a "second-hand" bird a secure home.

Warmest Christmas wishes to you and yours,

Super mega congratulations! She's such a beautiful bird!

I, too, just got a rescue parrot just recently, so your videos with your lovely Santina will be especially helpful.

WOW! What an awesome Christmas gift, to yourself, Michael, and especially to Santina, for giving her a loving home!

I am so happy for you, and excited that your flock had grown! Congrats -- she is SO beautiful! ♥

I can't WAIT to see what you teach her, and hear more about her, too! :danicing:

Video of Santina a month ago at the rescue on my first visit. She wanted nothing to do with me!

Congrats Michael!

How will you introduce Santina eventually to Kili & Truman? Also what method did you use for tameness training?
