darling polly

[Violet]

good news , polly allowed hubby to open her cage, then she went as fast as she could up to the top of her cage. she sat there whilst he changed her food.....wow....another thing I have noticed is that I must not enter the room with anything new in my hands, we have put a table by the door and if i want to bring something in that she hasn't seen before I sit it on the table for a couple of days. the table is placed where she can see it clearly. the ringneck is still very stressed but my babies can calm her, she is a beautiful blue and is one of the largest I have seen of her breed, she was sitting on eggs , and is afraid of being covered...also men terrify her , we made a mistake by sending her from the aivary to a male to look after her...our sister has named her HOPE,,,

Great job Violet!!! Polly as well you are doing a wonderful job!!! Hope is a nice name and eventually she will be doing as well as Polly. Thank you for working with these poor birds!! Do you know how other birds are doing? Still keeping you all in my prayers.

Theo, my goffins, is afraid of new things as well, although she is a lot better about it now.

Polly is doing well with you as I'm sure Hope will also. keep up the good work with them, they need you.

[Anne-Samantha's Mom]

my heart goes out to you and Hope and Polly...they need you so...

[Violet]

thank you all so very mutch....you people are the ones that keep me going...all the other birds are progressing slowly....although a puzzel to me is that some of the prefer male "parents"??????

Maybe they see their trauma as having been caused by humans instead of men. What amazes me is that they can learn to trust any human again after having experienced what we, as a species, are capable of. Maybe they just know instinctively which of us have that capacity and which don't. We'll probably never have that answer.

They are experts at reading body language...they need to be to survive as a prey animal. I trust my dogs judgement. My birds also are not comfortable with some. What do they see that I don't. YOu know how you get that feeling every once in a while of...I don't like the looks. I think our birds are that way...just better than we are at it.
