Saturday morning I forgot to take the seed out of the cage when I let the birds out. I remembered about an hour later and did it.
When I had to go out an hour or two later I put the seed back, as per usual. The other three went in, like the good little birds they are. But Emma just wouldn't go in. It was very frustrating. My brother and I chased her around for quite a while. Finally, I had no choice but to leave her out
.
I still feel that I would like to get her clipped, if I could catch her.
It's very frustrating.
I am thinking I need to set up the smaller cage again. Then, the day I am going to have her clipped, the other three will go into the big cage to get their seed. She will delay like she always does. I will put seed in the small cage for her. Hopefully, she will go in, then I can take her and the cage to the vet.
Opinions?
I'm trying to picture the vet trying to get her out of the cage, and it isn't a pretty sight.
She's a very interesting bird. (there is an old Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times.")
