Quito chilling on her swing

Occured to me that I hadn't put up a photo of Quito since she arrived home. Tomorrow makes a week, and she's doing great. Loves to come out of the cage and sit with (well actually she prefers on me). We're working on staying on a perch or playgym. It goes like this: Put Quito on perch, provide grape morsel bribe. Quito finishes grape. Pick Quito up off floor or my lap and put on perch. Wait until I'm pretty sure she can't stand it much longer, then bribe again. Repeat for a few minutes. Take Quito for a hand ride around the house for a break. Do a little more, then bribe her back into the cage with more grape pieces, because I need a break! <sigh> Just today, I think she's staying put a few seconds longer, so maybe she's getting the idea. Well after all, she's only 9 1/2 weeks old!

Anyhow, here's her ladyship, chillin' out on her swing!

Quito is beautiful! At least she does want to be on you She is still a baby, just keep working with her on staying on her perch when you need her to be, she'll get the hang of it.

Great picture. GCC's are great birds, but then again I am biased.

Yup, she was sleepy. Speaking of sleep, she gave me a start the other day. Even though I know perfectly well it's not uncommon for conures, when you walk by the cage and notice the bird lying on the floor on her back, feet up in the air, you gotta do a double take ! Then she woke up, chirped, and went back to cage climbing. She's a hoot!
