So far so good. Brody is allowing me to touch her feet without biting, moving away, or otherwise showing signs of being upset. She will even reach out as if to attempt to touch or grab onto my hand or fingers with hers. Brody is really talking up a storm as well and trying to imitate much of what we say. We all seem to be getting along quite well. I so appreciate your words of advice. I have searched long and hard for someone to correspond with regarding my new bird. Being new to the large parrot world, (I do have a cockatiel who we have had for abou 1.5 years) I have had many questions.
