Post: adopting a red belly henPosted by Kels on 4/14/05
Hello, I'm kinda new to the boards (been reading but not
posting for a little while), I may be adopting a Red Belly
Hen in the next week or so, I know she's tame and has been
socialized and all that, but I'm not sure HOW tame she is
(her primary owner has been away for almost a month, and the
caretaker of her is very skittish and afraid of birds, so I
don't know how much human interaction she's had since her
owner has been gone). This won't be my first bird (I had a
TAG that unfortunatly was lost about a month ago), but it
will be my first bird thats not a baby. I've taken care of
this bird for about a week before, and she was kinda nippy,
actually very nippy, but I just assumed it was because she
didn't really know me and I was in her territory. Anyway, if
anyone has any tidbits of advice, it would be greatly
appreciated :o)
Thanks!
