That's wonderful Kathi!! Its so great to see a young bird find joy in her new home, isn't it Oh yes Sarah, Im soooooooo thrilled everything is going so smoothly. Around here, smooth is a really good thing lately. We are all breathing a much needed sigh of relief. I continue to be so smitten with my new Sierra. Shes absolutely adorable.
By the way, erm, both the bird people at the Pet Shop I adopted her from actually cannot definitively say if my new baby is a he, or a she, but both "think" shes a she....so thats what I have been referring her as.
I dont know for sure though...

When I got Snowy, my second budgie, in October he had a poopy butt for a few days. It turned to just be because of the adjustment. I did clean him with a cotton ball after a couple of days. I couldn't get him completely clean, and he was NOT happy about the procedure. However, he was fine. Indeed Diana, my Miss Beasley didnt enjoy the poopy butt cleanings one bit...she felt violated. Thankfully only about 4 times did I need to do it, and each time was tramatic for us both. I used baby wipes, unscented ones...they worked pretty good. Sierra is pooping normally today...Nice semi firm black, with white center droppings, thank goodness.
Shes just awesome on all levels. Shes actually friendly too. If I didnt have 3 cats roaming my home, 2 are mine, one belongs to my roommate, I'd definately consider hand training her. She jumped onto my finger today when I did my daily cage cleaning routine...Miss Beasley, and Greens NEVER attempted that since the day I brought them home. They were always skiddish....this new baby isnt afraid of me. I wish I could spend time handling her, but here, its comes at a HUGE risk.

Yeah, Kathi, I would find a way to have some time alone with Sierra, away from the cats, where you and she can really become good friends - since she seems so interested in being chummy.

If you don't want to lock up the cats, you could lock yourself and Sierra away somewhere for small spaces of time so that you can have a more fulfilling relationship.

You are lucky to have a bird who perches on your finger. I think it ould be so nice to take advantage of it.
Of course, only YOU know what is right for you!
