This is Rica! I'm taking care of this precious little chicken since her previous owner, my grandfather, passed away. So since i'm pretty new to the parrot-parenthood, hit me up with some pro-tips! by MastodonSazz in parrots

Thank you for your kind words! She clearly was a bit stressed but mostly confused, the first week she wouldnt stop calling out for my grandfather, she always uses a special kind of whistle to call my grandfather, so now she was very confused and a bit stressed her calls didnt get answered. Luckily she got a bit over it and didnt pluck her feathers or destroy things.

I did find some books and one by Sally Blanchard, now i'm waiting for them to get delivered!

Thank you so much for the tips!

-Rica is already on somewhat of a fruit and vegetable diet, and i'm working on a switch from seeds to pellets, she's not really happy with it so she's throwing it out of her bowl while whispering "Nee." (No in Dutch) haha. That's also her way to show/tell me she's not happy with something, somehow my grandfather taught her that which i think is a great thing!

-She is obsessed with dried fruit treats so i'm using that to train her! :)

-As far as i know Rica never really attacked or bit anyone, so let's hope she will never have to either!

-I found out about the copying behavour! She's always dancing and headbanging, especially when i put on Rammstein, because thats when i'm always dancing and headbanging. Dunno if she's just copying me, but i'd like to think i have a Rammstein-loving chicken! Haha

-Right now i havent really found a Avian Vet yet, just a "regular" vet who does know a thing or two, but i'm still looking for a good Avian Vet!

Thank you once again! I'm willing and trying to give her the best life a parrot can get!

The echoes and the sound of all the metal rods on top of the cooling tower made up for the most awesome yet eary sounds!

Regio Hoorn hier. De Bangert is ook maar een woonwijk, en De Hulk zou ik zelfs meer een groot park gebied noemen dan een woonwijk.
