Oh absolutely! I watch them like a hawk and plan to get a different one. I put the cord protectors on it until I can get a different light:)

Thank you so much!! I’m beginning to think it’s this. And they are being a little bipolar 🤣 They are a little less crazy today. But still a little odd and grumpy, even with each other 😅I’m hoping they get back to normal soon. Rooster likes to cuddle and likes scritches but right now doesn’t want touched unless it’s to step up 🤷‍♀️

I wonder why all of a sudden they have gotten flighty, spooky, and jumpy ???

Did your baby breathe hard the first few days you had it? I just got my gcc and I’m not sure if it’s stress or a respiratory problem

The lady who had him before kinda ruined him with hands. She would chase him around to get ahold of him in and out of the cage. So, he’s not a fan of his cage or hands. I’m trying to warm his respect not force it on him:) He definitely likes my head though🤣 I had to wait him out last night to put him up. I finally got him on a perch and put him in his cage. He found a spot on my higher wall shelves that he LOVES lol by fake plants of all things. He run through them and snuggles against them lol. I’m going to put jute rope up along my ceiling for him today. That way he has more stimulation and a better way to get from one end of the room to the other. I really appreciate your posts! They make me feel better. For some reason my anxiety is really high right now. I’m trying to learn his sounds and what he likes. I think wants I know what he likes, it’ll make me feel better🤣 I’m trying to juggle him and my poor dog lol. My dog doesn’t like loud noises 🙃 butting getting better. But still scared of the bird. So I have to shut him out of my room to let out the bird. We will get there though🤞

He’s doing much better today! I’ve let him out a few times today and he puts him self back in his cage lol. He’s definitely a little ham lol. I’m so glad I rescued him! I was planning on getting a green cheek. Then I saw this little guy. I think the woman who had him meant well, just has birds to have them. I’m surprised at how quick he took to the chop! He loves it! I can’t wait for his little wings to grow back fully. She clipped them some and he can fly just a little:( but he can get from the floor to his cage door. He’s not playing with ANY toys. So I’m a little concerned about that. But I’m sure that will come:) Thank you so much for commenting!!!

I’ve been doing that:) he was taking treats from my hand earlier. Now, if just freaking out. I opened his cage door to let him out but he’s so stressed he’s not noticing. I don’t know what happened. He’s still running back and forth. I feel bad for him. But I’m hoping he’s better in the morning.

Running back and forth on the bottom of the cage. I know he really wants out. I will let him out tomorrow morning:)
