Congrats to you on your new friend. I think it is wonderful
that you adopted an adult bird. Sounds like you got yourself
a real sweetie! Just keep handling him and everything else
just like you are already doing. Offer fresh broccoli,
pasta, anything healthy you are eating...While you are eating
something in front of him, give some to him, and eat
together...It will reinforce a positive relationship between
the two of you. It sounds like he feels right at home with
you already..:)
Meyers tend to be very sweet birds in general. Keep up the
good work and keep us posted on your progress!
