I've been working on getting Emma used to my hands. This morning I fed her millet through the cage bars, and she came within an inch of my fingers while she was eating it! I am also clicking just before giving it to her. She now seems to be responding to the click by looking for the millet. Her fear of my hands has definitely decreased. I have to go out for a couple of hours. When I come back, I'm going to see if I can get her to step up onto a perch. Wish me luck! By the way, she took another bath yesterday  . |

Good luck with the perch! Let us know how it goes. You and Emma are doing great!
What have Piper and Snowy said to you about what they think of Emma?

Wow!
Emma seemed very quiet when I got home this afternoon. She wasn't moving or chirping.
I let her rest.
About a half an hour ago I tried putting my hand in the cage with a spray of millet. She actually ate some!
Then, I got a perch and tried to lure her onto it with the millet. It took a long time, but finally she stepped up onto the perch and nibbled on millet for a few minutes. I moved the perch close to the door of the cage, and she stayed on and kept eating. Then, it was like she thought, "Oh my god, WHAT am I doing!" and she started lunging for her swing, but couldn't quite reach it. I decided maybe she needed a rest, so I moved the perch up to the swing so she could get onto it. I congratulated her.
I'm pretty hopeful about being able to get her out of the cage with the perch tomorrow, so we can switch cages.
