So on Saturday I went to Ogden to go pick up my new bird. I found her on KSL.com. The owner was giving her away because she didn't have time to spend with her since she hurt her leg and the bird was named Sunny and was 6 years old. Well I have been looking for a baby sun conure for months and no one had any yet. when I saw this bird I thought that why should I get a baby when this poor bird needs love too. So I sent out an email to the owner not thinking I would get a reply. but sure enough that same day she emailed me and asked me if I wanted her. I was over freaking joyed plus she was only $175 were a baby Sun Conure would have cost me around $400.
When we got her home she was really upset and we weren't sure if she really was a biter or not, the lady had said that she hadn't ever bitten anyone but I seem to be the person who has the first time with things like this, so finally I got her to sit on my shoulder and she would play with my hair and play with my eyelashes, which means she was preening me and was a good sign. Plus I was in need of a good preening!
so it was nice and she was getting kind of use to us. plus she lets you pet her and she won't bite at you for it! it was really weird. I am use to having a bird that would chew my hand off if it got to close so I was really nervous that she would turn around and attack, but she never did.
I asked my mom how my dad felt about me getting the new bird but she was like "I didn't tell him about it did you?" I was shocked she tells him everything even when I tell her not to tell dad she still does. so we wanted to see what would happen when he got home but this bird is really quite and he didn't even notice! it was so fun he came out and didn't even see the cage in the family room. but then we went to say family prayers and Sunny started screaming cause we left her alone. My dad had this look of shock on his face and looked at me. He asked " What the heck was that?" I just smiled and said " My new bird!" hahahaha it was funny. He acted all mad but he thought she was pretty and when she screamed again he said "Man it sounds like we are in a Jungle!" I listen to her squawk again and it does! its like being in Indiana Jones when he is in the jungle. its so cool! but I found out its not so cool when she screams and is on your shoulder.
So so far she is doing good and she loves people to pet her but she hates being picked up, and she never goes in the bottom of her cage but hopefully she will get use to us.
