Emma's wings are growing back. She's got her confidence back (YAY).

This afternoon it just happened that she was by the lower cage door and I was able to get her out all by herself.

I gave her some sunflower seeds. She climbed up to my shoulder and stayed for several minutes. Every now and then I gave her another small seed. She was calm and relaxed. I even got her close to my neck, and was able to graze her crest with my chin. That was a first!

I told her how wonderful she smells and how sad it is that I can't usually get close enough to smell her.

I'm happy.

That is amazing! I'm so happy for both of you.

This is great news! Chin rubs are the first step to scritches, well done Emma and Dianne!
