Boy, I've been trying to reply to this for a couple of hours! Is anyone else having trouble moving around the boards?
Beau's colouring is much deeper and richer than shows in the pictures. She's more of a deep emerald green, and her red is also a deeper, richer red.
All of my birds a kissy, but Basil (Indian Ringneck) is not cuddly otherwise, except on HER terms, and in HER timing! lol
Beau was 6-1/2 years old when she came home with me a year ago in December. She will be 8 years old this coming August. I don't know her history, except that her previous owner apparently got a promotion that entailed a lot of time away from home. He felt guilty, so decided to rehome her. Her name in her previous life was Jello. It just didn't seem to fit, so four a year I just called her Baby or Babe. Then Di, bless her heart, suggested the name Beaujolis ... it is perfect! There has been no problem for Beau having a new name!
Beau is normally very quiet. However, when she wants me to come get her, she can sure make some blood curdling squawks! She was very shy and timid around the other birds at first, but she sure isn't any more. She is not nippy at all. She with beak my fingers, but more in play than anything else. She has never actually given me a bite, for which I am grateful!
She has become much more outgoing in the 18 months she has been with me. She is reluctant to go from me to someone else, but will happily go to someone else from her cage or her playstand, or from anywhere else for that matter. Initially, she was frightened of new people, but not any more.
When she first arrived, she didn't really play much, except with some plastic balls. She didn't chew anything, which was totally foreign in my experience with birds! And she only ate pellets ... absolutely nothing else. She now eats veggies and fruit. She loves chewing on paper and cardboard, but still doesn't chew on wood. She will now play with her toys, and chews on the leather pices hanging from one of her toys. When I have her on the floor, she will chase her balls, and bring them back to me to roll for her. She's really very playful, especially compared to when she first came to me! Makes me wonder how long her previous "person" was working away from home a lot.
She has fit into my home as if she has always been here. She is my only "velcro" bird ... she would be happy if she were permanently attached to me!

I love reading about other hahns so I can compare and see how they are alike or not.
