Adopt Lady P

Female

Lady Penelope or Lady P for short is a beautiful, fully feathered Alexandrine. She used to be called Bongo, but her adopter thought she was far too elegant and such a diva that Lady P was more appropriate! History/Background: Lady P came back into the charity, due to a change of circumstances with her previous adopter. Training: Lady P will need ongoing training, has a definite preference for males. She would sit on her dad's shoulder, snuggle into his beard and purr! Though she is definitely less tolerant (will shout/nip) for females, she will step up onto a stick, and take food from your fingers. Diet: Lady P is on Harrisons High Potency Coarse pellets. She also enjoys a low sunflower seed mix, though she will throw out all the bits she doesn't like! When she is out of the cage she likes having her food bowl on top of the cage and she'll go back and forward taking a pellet at a time to her floor standing perch. She loves mashed potato, any cooked veg, but her absolute favourite is peas and she'll take them individually from your fingers! She likes fruit/veg mix each day, either on a hanging skewer or in a bowl. She enjoys nuts (particularly walnuts), and pine nuts. She also loves eggs, poached or scrambled. Enrichment: Lady P loves a fir cone on top of her cage or inside, she will happily shred one a day. She loves playing with and chewing wooden toys in her cage. She enjoys spending time on her floor standing perch and having a good preen and it's stunning to watch her. She also has table top perch, which she will fly to and take nuts from the bowl. Lady P will try to have a bath in her water bowl, and she enjoys a spray from a water bottle – if she is out of the cage when you do it, she'll usually open her wings and have a really good shower! Summary: Lady P doesn't speak, though she has a lovely little tune she likes to sing. She has a variety of calls from morning flock call, to the indigent ‘ where are you? – you've left me?' shout if you've got her up but not opened the cage! She does have some lovely little chirps and she purrs a lot when shes happy. When she gets up in the morning she likes to come straight out the cage and will shout if you don't open the door. She usually gets up around 7am and is usually ready for bed by 7pm and tells you! She enjoys going to bed and sleeps on one particular swing. She is covered at night and settles really well.
