Lots of changes.
The lovies are doing great! I am talking kisses, cuddling, feeding in the beak, etc. so this relationship is going great, Peachy continues to be as sweet-tempered as ever and Cherry is not so afraid of me any longer (doesn't even move from the perch when I clean the cage, etc).
Sunny sunconure is now coming out of her cage on her own every single day and flying to my shoulder and all around all the time. She is still a bit clumsy and weak but she is getting better and stronger every day. Took her to the vet for bile acids and, although the value is still too high for my taste, it is now within normal levels so I will continue the new treatment (I added theanine to the milk thistle, dandelion root and methionine).
Davy has not bonded with Isis but I am not losing hope yet. He is now talking more (says "Good morning!" every single morning when he sees me going around opening cages at dawn), he has flown to my shoulder several times. The first time I thought it was Isis and only realized it was him when he flew off, the second time I knew it was him because I saw the orange on his chest out of the corner of my eye but just kept on going as if I had not noticed - just to get a hard nip on my cheek before he took off
He has learned the routine and has established his personal changes to it - he likes to eat his produce while perching on top of his cage so I stick it there first thing and before I start cleaning all the cages. He is also super smart! He has already learned that when I go: "Davy, SHOOOO!" he needs to fly off wherever he is perching.
Pookey continues to improve but soooooo slowly it's making me nervous! She eats well and no longer screams so much even though she is no longer on any medication but I wish I had more time to devote to her one-on-one and a room where there were no animals whatsoever so she could live cage-free.
But, I am having trouble with Sweetpea and Zoey... Sweetpea changed after Davy joined us. He did not seem to mind him at all, he perched next to him, flew around, etc but, for some reason, he started going after Zoey whenever she was first put back into their cage. I don't know if this was because of Davy coming here or if it's that he just got fed up with Zoey rejecting his advances but, whatever the reason he has for it, it has screwed things up because Zoey started flying away from me whenever it was time to go back to her cage and one day, I had no choice but to go after her and grabbed her (the poor cats had been locked for hours in their room and I had to go run an errand). It took me two entire hours to convince her to forgive me and trust me the next day but, when I tried to put her back (it was already getting very dark in the afternoon and she had not had a good meal all day long, stubborn thing that she is!), she bolted and would fly away every time I walked toward her. So I went to the basement and brought up a spare cage for her. This brought comments from my husband ("There are now NINE cages down here!" "This is a family house, not a shelter!")... comments I ignored, of course!
Linus, the shy little boy who ran to a corner of the room and would not make a peep, has done a 180 and is now not only screaming his head off, he also started going after Freddy. But, I guess he went a bit too far with his new courage because, Chirstmas morning while I was doing the cages downstairs, I heard screams coming from the birdroom (not 'normal' screams) so I went to check on them and he was perching inside his cage with his left leg up in the air and stretched out in front of him (looking for all the world like a little boy with a booboo on his finger, all stretched out so I could see it). The poor baby had a boo-boo on it so Freddy must have gotten tired of putting up with Linus' new found courage and must have bit him. No biggie, just a small bite and quite superficial at that but it had broken the skin and there was blood so I cleaned it out and put some sulfa powder on it (I LOVE my sulfa powder!) and locked both of them in their cages -Linus because he was going to feel safer in it and Freddy so he wouldn't open Linus' cage and bothered him. It's completely closed now with a very small scab on it and, although it's still a bit swollen, he uses it normally and does not even look at it so, obviously, it doesn't hurt him at all (it's in a 'good' place because it's not anywhere near a joint). Let's see if he learned his lesson and is now leaving Freddy alone...
The other parrots, Mami, Naida, Zeus, Precie and Sophie, are all doing great but I lost Itsy, the old male button quail, so I now have to look for a new mate for Bitsy, the remaining one and much younger female; Pibe, a young male Floreado, was looking poorly (nothing I could put my finger on but I did not like the way he was acting and looking) so I put him on Baytril in his water and is now back to normal; and poor little Yaga Zebra finch is not looking good at all but I've had him for 5 years and the lady I got them from told she had had them for many years so I am thinking it's old age (he is the one that has only one leg and toes missing from his only foot and was already with only half his plumage when I got him).
