There was a distinct nip in the air today and leaves are starting to turn colors everywhere. I love the slant of the sun, especially in those “golden hours” between 4-6 pm.
I took a walk after work today and was treated to such lovely warm light.
On the home front, all continues very well with Steve’s acclimatization to his new home.
I had taken some days off to spend at home with Steve and his new flock, and by last night Steve had relaxed enough that the nail chewing was decreasing. Another great sign of progress was that he was very active – moving all over the upper part of his cage, finding hidden pellets, and even choosing a new night perch. And very best of all, he never took his eyes off me, coming to be close to me on his door perch, waiting for treats and to see what I might do next. He was starting to engage with his surroundings and his new person! As I sat next to his cage watching a DVD last night, I looked up at him and had the sense that he was beginning to feel happiness. That made me smile – big time!
