Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and new to owning a parrot. I got my little Green Cheek 3 months ago when she was 2 months old. She has acclimated beautifully with all members of the family, but it's clear to all that I am her favorite. After all, It's me who greets her every morning, feeds her and spends time training her by teaching her a few tricks. She's quiet, which is what I wanted...I live in an apartment. I haven't had blood work done, so I cannot be 100% sure she's a she. My immediate question is...As she gets older, will her energy die down? Her personality is non stop. She's playful, but also so full of energy from the moment she wakes up, to the moment she goes to sleep. I love her to death and maybe I was naive to thinking I would put her in one place and she would stay there until I moved her. Boy, was I wrong. Her wings were clipped when I got her from the breeder and the Avian Vet I took her to assured me her wings were clipped correctly. However, she took to flying on day 2 from bringing her home. She's very mobile. I hate the idea of clipping her wings. I like the idea of her flying around. Just wondering if she'll settle down alittle as she gets older?
