I have been very busy lately and haven't spent much time on here. Sorry! Just wanted to let you know that Stormy is still around and a happy little Conure.
I went on holiday for 3 weeks and couldn't take any of my fur/feather kids (we drove 6000 km in 2 weeks!!!). So Stormy had to go to my friends place.
Before we went on our holiday, Stormy was fully flighted (is that the right word? I mean he could fly as clipped wings grew back). He seemed to be much happier as he could decide where and when he wants to go somewhere. The only problem was that I couldn't contain him when I was cooking for example. And his cages are downstairs.
I got him clipped before I went on holiday as a precaution. The people at the Vet loved him and I didn't have to pay for his wing clipping.
He behaved very nicely at my friends place and was only noisy when all the wild birds came to the feeding station my friends erected in their garden.
When I came back after 2 1/2 weeks, i had the feeling, Stormy didn't recognise me.
He was a bit nippy and shy. That lasted for about 2 days and now he's good again.
I'm learning more and more about birds and read a lot on the internet and try to teach Stormy new tricks, so watch this space and whish me luck!!!
