Just wanted to tell you that I purchased a 3-4" ball from CARE last night along with food for the birds at home. The ball was for Paco because of its size. I got it home and showed it to him and he was completely terrified of it and climbed to the back of his cage and literally yelled at me.
So time to employ Plan B.
Punkin's cage is in the other room and she can see pretty much the length of our house. I threw the ball on the floor and sort of played soccer with it all the way to her cage. She was completely overwhelmed by the time I got within 5 feet of her cage. I picked up the ball and let her look at it, then dropped it in her cage. She spent the next hour just squealing and chirping and pushing that ball around like we have never seen her do before. It just made us laugh. It was the best $3 I have ever spent!!!
PS: I know that once Paco sees that Punkin has so much fun with it he'll want one just like it.
As we've stated before, we love hearing stories about how well birds that have come through CARE are faring! Many of our former residents come back for grooming and/or boarding, and it's always fun to see a familiar face again!
