Its been awhile since I last posted here, in fact it was before Ol' Verts first moult where she got really rather grumpy and couldn't really do much with her due to it. Upsides, the clipped wings are gone and she looks much better and seems much happier than before.
Now the issue is I don't have much of a clue on how to train her to step up or not just fly away from me, mostly because I'm scared of hurting Vert by accident and obviously with the current...situation...if I do accidentally injure Vert with training (E.G. she flies too hard into the side of her cage) I can't really take her to the vet and I still haven't found out if the vet in my area even does birds.
I want to get Vert to the point where she doesn't just fly off at least, but she seems pretty used to me so that's a start but tends to cower under the cuttlebone in her cage when its anyone else but me. I kinda want to make sure she is easier to catch when she does escape (for the day it happens as she hasn't really made a break for it yet)
If people want to see Vert here she is (we are pretty sure Vert is a she) been playing with that tool holder for awhile now.
