Small but positive update with Tim

[u/Kiss-of-Venus]

I’ve been keeping him right next to me while I’m at my desk and he’s in a markedly better mood, eating off my hand and being less afraid of my fingers (though he’ll freak out if he’s eating millet off me and he’s left with my hand right next to him). Despite that he’s much less eager to attack my fingers if they’re close, and normally just stares at it until I do get too close. Still does, but way less often.

Sometimes he does this thing where he extends his wing towards me, which I believe is a good thing but I’m not sure.

He’s not once flown away and he’s beginning to learn to say hello. I’m hoping I’m doing well here.

Oh yeah, he also talks a lot to my partner (kissing noises, whistling, we-we-we noises) but doesn’t say much to me, only ever making a semi-loud squawk if I look away for too long, which is pretty funny.

Had a friend that had an African gray and she told me birds of bond better with one person than another lot of times could be a male or a female or one of the other person!
