so after a few days of emailing i have finally met the keet that i saw in my dream the night before then saw on Craigslist she is just over a year old and apparently the smallest one in the flock when bought at petco. her owner was having a baby so she couldnt clean her and her fiancé did, making the bird nervous and untame again. she said that when she was tame she would sit on her shoulder and go outside with her but now she is skittish and since she has to stay away from the bird she was put in a box (only half as high as the cage) so the seeds are contained. she LOVES bells and has been playing with them since we left, even in the car! the sad parts that i noticed.... she doesnt have the best toys, she hasnt been cleaned in a while (seen in pics, i cleaned her and her owner apologized and asked if she could clean her before she came to us), her nails havent been clipped in like forever (also seen in pics, and will be taken care of soon), no cuttle bone (when she gets settled in i will add one), and she had no seeds, just husks.. also has been taken care of and now she has seeds and of course knowing me, i had to feed her some millet she was unsure but did take some and leaned way back on the perch. i think she is molting too so she isnt the fullest.she loves singing to she bells and butch heard and flock called a few times she didnt really answer and just kept singing. she is in the room over. oh she is also pretty thin so hopefully she will gain some weight!!
her original name is Khaleesi, but i am changing it because i will never remember it! so i need name ideas!!! she looks like a female but has some little blue spots. i am guessing that she is a dilute, sky blue, opaline, double factor dominant pied. she does have light (as in dilute) sky blue on her back and some random blue feathers, and the stripes on her head and opaline, also some small wing feathers. oh and she has like lavender cheek patches
she needs a name!!!!! lets just hope i made the right choice
Before i cleaned and took care of her
