She was always a little shy around strangers but gradually after loved grew to love us all. She lived to be 17 and a half! We basically ignored her for the first few days, just sat in the same room with her and let her come to us, then we started with toys and soon she came around. Good luck, with this one, i'm sure you will do well.  |
Thanks for your encouragement. Even further progress today as after a session of hand feeding - fresh cooked chicken - it allowed me to touch and caress it all over! I put a feathery toy over its face first and then it didn't see my other hand coming. It puured its head off and I nearly cried. I think its a girl and have named her POPPY has she was caught on Poppy day.
