I thought of making one thread so I can tell you if there are any improvements with any and all of my birds instead of adding to previous individual threads.
Mami and Naida (bonded amazon females) are both molting and, thankfully, they are getting all the feathers that Mami plucked from both of them but I fear that Naida's nape will remain plucked because Mami is constantly preening her there. Aside from that, they are doing very well. I took out their 'nest' out of their cage this week and they did not mind at all because they had pretty much abandoned it over a week ago.
Sunny is eating more produce and in molt which is fine even though it's the second one in less than a year. She is also coming out every day and beginning to fly a bit better and more often so YAAAYYY for Sunny!
Pookey TAG appears to be getting a bit better. She now approaches the front of her cage when she hears me calling her name in the middle of the afternoon and eagerly takes her treat from my fingers AND it seems to me that there is also the tiniest improvement in her scared screams when another bird perches on her cage.... we'll see what happens when I start giving her some herbal tranquilizers in her water (she is now getting theanine but I am going to the holistic store this weekend to get supplies for maybe a nerve tonic, maybe a nervine tea... I don't know, I have to sit down and do a bit more research about this).
Isis Redbelly has started eating produce in her cage (YAAAAYYY for Isis!). It's been two years since she came not eating ANY produce whatsoever. First she started by stealing fruits from the canaries cages, then she started eating her produce only outside her cage but she ate it inside her cage two days in a row AND she munched on a Romaine lettuce stalk for the first time yesterday.
But the gold medal for Most Improvement goes to Linus which is not only eating produce like a champ, he actually walks over to me to ask me for it before I have time to put it in his cage , has allowed a few feathers to grow and remain in one piece (he has also barbered some of the beautiful primaries he had gotten, the stinker!) AND (drumroll!) he is not only no longer afraid of Freddy, he actually goes after Freddy himself!!! This morning, as usual, Freddy climbed down and quickly walked out the door of the birdroom on one of his daily 'walkabouts' (me: "Where you going, Freddy?" Freddy in a matter of fact, don't bother me tone of voice: "Byebye" ) and, lo and behold, Linus went right after him, walking real fast out of the birdroom to get him!
Everybody else is doing OK except for me because I hate molt season (teeny tiny feathers from the passerines all over the place!)
