Adopter Orville &
Kvinde
Vi var begge enkeltpåfugle i separate kærlige hjem, men vores ejere så, at vi ikke var lige så glade som tidligere. Gennem Problem Parrots blev vi sammenført i vores sikkerhedsbolig og vi blev hurtigt gode venner. Vi spiser, leger og sover side om side. Som de fleste fugle har vi nogle gange en småtvist, men det varer ikke længe. Penny – jeg er den mere selvsikre og udadvendte. Du kan tage mig op og klemme mig, så meget du vil. Orville – jeg er lidt skamfuld i starten og foretrækker at sidde bagud og se verden passere. Jeg tager tid til at tilpasse mig og vil ikke komme op, indtil jeg føler mig klar. Jeg er ikke så fysisk nærværende, men jeg elsker at sidde med dig i timer, bare at afslapne sammen. Historie/Baggrund: Orville – jeg var hos min ejer fra jeg klakkede. Jeg har tendens til at binde sig tættere til mænd, men jeg er glad for at være rundt omkring alle. Da mine ejere tog ferie, begyndte jeg at plukke hår. Da deres arbejdsmæssige ansvar steg, bemærkede de, at jeg ikke var lige så heldig. Jeg forblev i mit nuværende fosterhjem i et par måneder. Under den tid forbedrede min plukning. Jeg legede mere og jeg havde rigtig gavn af anden fugles selskab. Jeg vendte hjem i en kort periode, men det blev klart, at jeg behøvede mere opmærksomhed, så mine ejere træffede den svære beslutning at give mig til Problem Parrots for min egen velvære. Penny – jeg var tidligere hos Problem Parrots, før jeg blev adopteret til et kærligt hjem, hvor jeg vandrede i mange år. For nylig bemærkede mine ejere, at jeg ikke var helt mig selv. De søgte råd, men noget var ikke i orden. De indså med tungt hjerte, at jeg havde brug for mere end de kunne give. At være en enkelt fugl kan være svært, vi har virkelig brug for selskab. Ved held og skæbne mødtes vi i vores fælles hjem. Allerede den første dag bød vi på et stærkt band. Vi har undertiden en lille mund til mund diskussion, men de varer kun kort. Vi bevæger os frit mellem hinandens kagler (hun har bedre legetøj... og nogle gange hende mad!). Siden vi har været i vores sikkerhedsbolig, er vi flyttet ind i samme kage og det går godt. Dog er du mere end velkommen til at sætte os i vores egne hjem, hvis du vælger. Vi elsker kærlighed på vores egne betingelser, kysser og knug, kun når vi har lyst. Giv os tid og tillid, så vil vi fortsætte med at blive mere selvsikre. Vi kommer op, selvom det ikke altid sker ved anmodning! Vi elsker at flugte rundt i rummet, men vi er lige så glade for at lege i eller omkring vores kagler og stand. Vores sikkerhedsboligs mor har gjort standen til en sjov og stimulerende plads, fuld af smagsprøver og ting at kave (og kaste mod hende!). Vi elsker også at gå ud i vores buggy. Det er en af vores yndlingsaktiviteter! Vi besøger søen, skoven og møder mange mennesker. Vi kan være lidt skamfulde i starten, men når vi er sat, prater vi uden pauser og kommenterer højt over alt, der bevæger sig. Orville – min plukning er væsentligt mindre siden jeg har været mere aktiv og har Pennys selskab. Nye hår kommer igennem, men jeg skal stadig have overvågning, da jeg tit trækker dem ud. Der er ingen fast mønster i mit adfærd. En lidt længere mørk periode om aftenen og ændringer i kosten har også hjulpet. Træning: Vi har store muligheder og kan lære meget med tid, tålmodighed og engagement. Vi er både nysgerrige og elsker at være inde i, hvad du foretager dig. Vi lærer grænser, især omkring mad. Vi har brug for huskere, at vi ikke må tage mad fra din tallerken, men vi forbedrer os og reagerer godt på belønninger. Vi har lavet korte trænings-sessioner for at holde vores hjerne aktive. Med den rigtige tilgang kunne vi begge trænes til at bruge en halsbånd. Dog ville det kræve meget indendørs træning først og en stærk tillid, før vi tør ud for døren. Diæt: Orville – jeg var tidligere på en dårlig frøbaseret kost, men jeg blev overført til en sundere blanding. I starten syntes jeg ikke om pellets, indtil Penny viste mig, at de var værd at prøve! Nu spiser jeg Harrisons Fine pellets med en gang Tidymix. Penny – jeg spiser Harrisons Fine pellets og har hjulpet Orville med at se, at de er mad! Jeg elsker også Tidymix som en sundere behandling. Vi elsker bønner, ærter og grøntsager, især hakket form (selvfølgelig elsker vi også at kaste dem!). Frugt er mindre populær, vi kaster ofte den væk. Vores yndlingsbehandling er Lafeber Nutriberries. Vi vil gerne komme op for én af dem! Om aftenen elsker vi cashewnødder, valnødder eller hasselnødder. Vi er begge gode spisere og elsker at have et godt måltid, inden vi sænker os for at sove. Forbedring: Vi elsker at kave. Ideelt set legetøj snarere end dørrammer eller møbler (Penny!) Simple ting som gamle bøger, aviser, almindelig papir og karton holder os lige så underholdende som dyre legetøj. Vi elsker at flyve til vores stand, som er blevet til en lille legeplads. Den bruges også til trænings-sessioner. Vi kan gladeligt underholde os selv, enten alene eller sammen, og elsker at udforske udenfor vores kagler. Eftersom vi bliver mere selvsikre, vil vi bruge endnu mere tid ud og omkring. Penny – du vil ofte finde mig under kagen, gladelig at slække papir og karton! Sammenfatning: Vi er Penny og Orville, et bundet par, der fandt hinanden efter begge følte sig ensomme alene. Siden vi har været sammen, er vi blevet tætte kammerater. Vi spiser, sover og leger sammen. Vi ville være ideelle for en første gang fuglefamilie. Vi tygger, men ikke med nogen alvor. Vi er ikke store fugle og skriger ikke kontinuerligt for opmærksomhed. Penny er mere selvsikker og kærlig, glad for at blive håndteret og klemmet, mens Orville er lidt skamfuld i starten og tager tid til at bygge tillid, men elsker roligt selskab, når han er sat. Orville har historie med hårplukning, men det er forbedret med rutine, kost og at have Penny omkring. Vi er nysgerrige, aktive fugle, der elsker at flugte, udforske og lege med legetøj og alt, vi kan kave. Vi reagerer godt på mild træning og har stor potentiale med ret tid og tålmodighed. Vores kost er sund og variabel, og vi elsker at lede og prøve nye ting. (selvfølgelig, selvom vi nogle gange kaster dem først!) Sammen er vi heldigst med selskab, forbedring og opmærksomhed, og vi søger et hjem, som forstår vores forsk

We were both lone birds in separate loving homes, but our owners could see that we weren't as happy as we once were. Through Problem Parrots we were brought together in. our safehouse and we quickly became good friends. We eat, play and snooze, side by side. Like most birds, we have the occasional squabble, but it never lasts long. Penny – I'm the more confident and outgoing one. You can pick me up and fuss over me as much as you like. Orville – I'm a bit shy at first and prefer to sit back and watch the world go by. I take time to adjust and won't step up until I feel ready. I'm not as hands on, but I do love sitting with you for hours, just relaxing together. History/Background: Orville – I was with my owner from when I hatched. I do tend to bond more closely with men, but I am happy to be around anyone. When my owners went away on holiday, I began plucking. As their work commitments increased, they noticed I wasn't as happy. I stayed with my current foster home for a few months. During that time, my plucking improved. I played more and I really benefited from the company of other birds. I returned home for a while but it became clear I needed more attention so my owners made the difficult decision to hand me into Problem Parrots for my well being. Penny – I was previously with Problem Parrots before being adopted into a loving home, where I thrived for years. More recently my owners noticed I wasn't quite myself. They sought advice, but something wasn't right. They realised with heavy hearts that I needed more than they could provide. Being a lone bird can be hard, we really do need companionship. By luck and fate, we met in our shared home. From day one, we bonded. We occasionally have a little beak to beak disagreement, but they're short lived. We move freely between each others cages (her toys are better…. and sometimes her food too!) Since we have been in our safehouse, we have moved into the same cage and are doing well. However you are more than welcome to put us in our own homes if you choose to. We enjoy affection on our terms, kisses and tickles, only when we are in the mood. Give us time and trust and we will continue to grow in confidence. We do step up, although not always on demand! We enjoy flying round the room, but are equally happy playing in or around our cages and stand. Our safehouse mum has made the stand a fun and enriching place, full of treats and things to chew (and throw at her!) We also love going out in our buggy. It's one of our favourite activities! We visit thw lake, the woods, and meet lots of people. We can be a little shy at first, but once settled, we chatter non stop and comment loudly on anything that moves. Orville – My plucking has reduced significantly since becoming more active and having Pennys company. New feathers are coming through, but I will still need monitoring as I occassionally pull them out. There is no set pattern to my behaviour. A slightly longer dark period at bedtime and dietary changes have also helped. Training: We have huge potential and can learn a lot with time, patience and dedication. We're both curious and love being involved in whatever you're doing. We are learning boundaries, especially around food. We need reminders that we're not allowed to take food from your plate, but we're improving and respond well to rewards. We've been doing short training sessions to keep our minds active. With the right approach, we could both be trained to use a harness. However, as we're quite flighty, this would require lots of indoor training first and a strong bod of trust before venturing outside. Diet: Orville – I was previously on a poor seed based diet but I was transitioned to a healthier mix. At first I wasn't impressed with pellets until Penny showed me that they were worth trying! Now I eat Harrisons Fine pellets with the occasional Tidymix. Penny – I'm on Harrisons Fine pellets and helped Orville realise they're food! I also enjoy Tidymix as a healthier treat. Both of us love pulses, beans and vegetables. especially in chopped form (though we do enjoy throwing them too!) Fruit is less popular, we usually just toss it aside. Our favourite treat are Lafeber Nutriberries. We will happily step up for one of those! At bedtime, we enjoy cashews, almonds or walnuts. We're both great eaters and like to have a good meal before settling down for the night. Enrichment: We lone to chew. Ideally toys rather than doorframes or furniture (Penny!) Simple things like old books, magazines, plain paper and cardboard keep us just as entertained as expensive toys. We enjoy flying to our stand, which has been turned into a mini play gym. It's also used for training sessions. We can happily entertain ourselves, either alone or together, and enjoy exploring outside our cages. As we grow more confident, we will spend even more time out and about. Penny – You'll often find me under the cage, happily shredding paper and cardboard! Summary: We are Penny and Orville, a bonded pair who found each other after both feeling lonely on their own. Since coming together we have become close companions. We eat, sleep and play together. We would be ideal for the first time bird family. We do nip, but not meant with any seriousness. We are not loud birds and we do not continuously shout for attention. Penny is the more confident and affectionate one, happy to be handled and fussed over, while Orville is a little shy at first and takes time to build trust, but enjoys calm company once settled. Orville has a history of feather plucking, but it is improved with routine, diet and having Penny around. We're curious, active birds who enjoy flying, exploring and playing with toys and anything we can chew. We both respond well to gentle training and have lots of potential with the right time and patience. Our diet is healthy and varied, and we love foraging and trying new things. (even if we sometimes throw them first!) Together, we're happiest with companionship, enrichment and attention, and we're looking for a home that understands our different personalities and can give us the time and care we need.
