Just had to post about Sullie. I posted in here a few weeks back not long after we got Sullie. He hadn't been hand tamed or hand reared at all and was scared stiff of hands and us! Everytime we would go near his cage he would just go crackers.
Since then everyday we have wheeled his cage into our home office and sat him between us. We have sat with him for hours talking to him (Think I have actually bored him to sleep some days!) hehe - we have had our meals with him and slowly he has started to come round! This week it's like we have a different little bird again! He's still a tad scared of hands, but he comes out now, flies around a bit and comes forward on the top of his cage to sit with us. He then flies down to his perch stand right next to us and sits with us and even when I stand, he doesn't fly off or look scared - I really can't begin to explain how much more relaxed he is this week!!!
The past few days he has had us giggling at him! He lands on his window sill watching the birdies and then runs up and down the sill getting so excited and ends up tripping over his little feet!!! haha I have bought him lots of new toys and stands, and put a new window perch for him so he can stand high in the window. To encourage him to have a look at his new window perch, I put a dried chilli on there. 5 minutes later I looked in on him and he had grabbed the chilli and was sat on his other stand eating it looking VERY pleased with himself!! hehe
We still have a way to go yet, but I really feel like he's starting to accept us into his flock now and it's a FAB feeling x
Sorry for babbling on, but I had to share how proud we are of him and how well he's doing and wanted to thank you all for your help, as we come on here everyday to get ideas and advice
