Are you *SURE* Noel never has anything to say? When my Gizmo was that age, she would sing lovely songs, but so insanely quiet you could only hear if she were perched on your shoulder very close to your ear! Try listening to her like she has a secret for a few hours this week! I bet she is just super shy!

Thanks, luvsanimals2 for the link. I ended up ordering pieces online as well as some wooden pieces and small diameter cotton rope to make my own. Looking forward to trying something they might enjoy gnawing on instead of our wooden door or window frames! Didn't realize that it was officially named "flock calling" but ours do that when they are sitting apart at different windows or one is sitting on a person. They sound like they are talking "where ARE you???", "I'm right HERE", etc. Is December flightless because her feathers are clipped or she is too young to have flight feathers? I am learning so much from this forum . |

Santino, I'm so glad you are learning from our forum. I learn here, too!
December is roughly 6 months old. She has all of her feathers, or should. She was severely clipped by some unknown person before I adopted her from Petco. I don't know whether she was clipped there or clipped before she arrived there. Noel, whom I also adopted from Petco the same day, was fully flighted. I don't know why somebody clipped poor little December soooo short, but she can't fly or glide at all. It's very sad, because she crashes and burns when she attempts to take a flying leap, and she can't catch herself when she stumbles off of a perch. She is getting to be a stronger climber, and falls less frequently now. Poor baby girl. Sweet little December. I pray that she is not permanently damaged, and will eventually regrow her flight feathers.
