So about two months ago we had three birds, Charlie, Harriet and Homer. Now we have four. I think we've settled on a name for her. For now it's Lupe but we almost went with Veeta. When we gave her first bath she smelled really bad. Not like other wet birds, but like Velveeta cheese, hence the name Veeta.
Veeta/Lupe is pretty cool. She hasn't really bonded with the others yet so she is actually more content to sit with the humans even when the other birds aren't around. It's nice because it makes for a bird that will sit with you everywhere you go and anything you do. I've had Veeta blogging with me and checking Facebook as well as sewing and working on bikes. She's a champ. She's also a bit of a character when she wants attention. If we've been watching TV for an hour on the couch and haven't been giving them any love she'll start climbing around the cage and hanging upside down while spreading her wings. She's also a little sassy when Johanna starts talking to her. She'll grumble back without hesitation. I think she's still working on her balance a little bit. She doesn't move around quite as well as the rest of the flock but she does ok. Maybe having her wing feathers clipped doesn't help but I've definitely seen her fall off of a perch or two when she gets startled. She's settling in though.
and the rest of the flock.
