So Lucy was afraid of him at first. She hissed and hissed and hissed. Then lunged at him, then began preening him? Apparently she has mood swings. Anyway, then I took her out of the cage, and left Leo in it. Now they are both there together. She won't get close to him. He won't get close to her. But from opposite ends of the cage, they are both preening themselves. I hope this is a good sign? I should have known Lucy enjoyed being an only child :/ I hope this slump we seem to be in gets better. I hope we can work past it.  |

I think if they are preening themselves it is a good sign! That's what Piper and Snowy did when they first saw each other. It's like getting ready for a date.

Lisamarie, you got Leo today? How exciting! I thought you were keeping them in separate cages at first? I think it sounds like it is going fine. Why would Lucy love him at first sight. Plus he is in HER cage, right? And thrips is just day one. It will be fine. How is Leo?

He's lost and confused and intimidated by Lucy. He took her sleeping spot though so poor Lucy had to migrate to a different perch. I think it will be okay soon. I haven't handled him much because he is so lost and confused I didn't want to mess him up even more! I got him today because it was warmer and I got a break in the rain

I suggest holding him more. Since he is hand tamed and accustomed to people, you won't mess him up by holding him. In fact, by not being held, he could feel very lonely. Hold him just as much as you can, and Lucy too, of course.
