Hormones are on the downswing...YAY!

[MammaKim]

It seems that Lucy's hormones are finally calming down. She is definitely more interactive - which is amazing since she was already very interactive! She is getting some beautiful new feathers and alot of down. Her left side of her body is getting greener everyday and her right side is quite grey with down. The only place still pink with skin is the tops of her wings. YAY Lucy! There is not so much bottom in the air - still on occassion, but it has definitely lessened. I was worried that my girl would be p-m-s-ing for a LONG time.

Look how pretty my girl is.... I just love her! (Even if there is still a hint of chicken in her!)

Her beautiful new belly feathers! (This was taken last night, and this morning there are so many more!)



And this is her showing her beautiful self!




I tried to get the back of her head, but she was not cooperating with that. She has a green patch amongst her yellow...I want to youtube her talking, but when she sees me coming to video her, she attacks my phone!


This is a normal picture for her. She is so curious!



I am amazed at how good she looks! It seems like her feathers are smoother or something...she just looks so soft and bright. I dont know why, but to me she is even more beautiful than the day she came, if that is even possible!

Congratulations on her progress! She is looking good!

Plucking aside, the feathers she has look really good.
My female amazon used to put her butt in the air over just about anything. If I had her beside me on the couch and happend to reach over her back for the remote control, she would instantly squat and moan. She now has a mate and is rather insistant on giving me babies every year whether I want them or not.
Hope you enjoy your girl for a long time to come. Female amazons are great.

Thanks, I think she looks pretty good too! YAY! I hope those top wing feathers come back in. It looks so bare right there, but everywhere else has down or new feathers. And, I have not seen her fully feathered yet!

The moaning....LOL! Yeah - that is quite .... ummmm.... interesting! I tell her we will have none of that, but she really does not listen. LOL! I bet she would make beautiful babies, but we will never know. I wish spaying her was a simple procedure. Oh well, we will deal with the raging hormones - there are 6 human females in this house - and when you compare her to my 12 year old, Lucy is the nice one!

LOL I totally understand your joy at seeing the hormones subside. Glad she's allowing some feathers to grow in - that shows you're fulfilling her needs more fully than where she was before. Nice!

Hi Kim!

Looks like Lucy is doing beautifully! I'm so happy for her (& you, too!)
She looks as though she is beaming with joy! Yay, yay, yay!
You have no idea how rewarding it is to see what a wonderful home she has.

I'm also so excited that you decided to come to birdboard (had to work @ it a bit, but eventually, you made it!) I just love seeing her updates.


P.S. ------> Just wondering, what does Gus think of her?

BTW: that last pic of her is my favorite! I absolutely love it!
