Hi all! I am Punky, and if mama did this right you should see my picture in the corner.
I am 6 years old and a girl. This is my third and last home. Well fourth if you count Mikes house-he is the guy who rescued me when my other landlords kicked me out. Mama got me from him.
I know I am a girl because I lay eggs. I am talented that way.
I like to snuggle with mama and chew on her ears. I like some of my toys but not all of them. I like my bell and my tent and my snuggly and my papertoyyouripapart toy. I like to try and tear up my ladder. I like to rattle my food dish.
Mama wants me to eat these little colored things. I want to eat seeds. Guess whos winning so far? I will eat the fresh stuff she gives me. Some of it. I like PASTAPASTAPASTA any kind. I LOVE lettuce-the butter kind-as long as its green. I will eat turkey bits, hard boiled eggs and string cheese. I throw fruit on the bottom of my cage, except banana, i will take a few bites of that. I will taste whatever mama eats. Carrots make me mad. I bite them HARD and spit them out. then I bite mama.
Mama thinks I am acting funny. I am alittle hormonal I admit. Mama wants to know what to expect and how long to expect it.
And she wants to know what I am doing when I act like I am gagging when I sit on her shoulder. I like to keep her guessing.

Thats it for now,
Punky

When Punky is sitting on momma's shoulder doing the gagging move, she is attempting to regurgitate for them, its loved one, (mate) that's what birds do for those that are special to them...its very high praise, but gross if they actually succeed in doing it.

Hi there Punky, welcome to the forum!!

You can lay eggs? Wow!! You are a talented girl.

I'm sure you are a very good girl but you really should try to learn to like the little colored things. The reason mommy gives them to you is because she loves you very much and wants you to stay healthy and happy for a long long time.

Tell mommy I would also like to welcome her.

Hi Punky!
Nice to meet you. The regurgitating thing means they are happy, and they love you.
Ahh, laying eggs... I used to have a female parrotlet that laid lots of eggs... Its that time of the season...LOL..
Good luck with Punky, and glad to hear she has a nice home!!

Welcome Punky----So glad to have you with us....You sound like a real nice baby....I bet mommy thinks so too....

Tell mommy to take your picture and lets see a big one of you....I do see you in mommy's avatar and what a pretty girl you are....

Now don't lay too many eggs because you may lose a lot of calcium and you need that....

Welcome to the forum, Punky! We're glad to have you here.

So she really is trying to puke huh? Little goof. Im so flattered.
I've kind of read around and guess I dont have the only bird with PMS? I got her just as spring started to threaten around here. In the midwest we have winter, just after winter, D@ng its hot, and almost winter. So her little heart is pitter pattering with love? So thats why she cuddles then bites me.

Thanks from both of us for the welcome!
Punky and Mama (Doreen)

Welcome Punky, you are a very good typer . I am glad that you and your mom found this forum. It is really great and there are alot of good people here.

Welcome to the most addicting place on the internet!

Oh, she bites you afterwards? Hmmmm...... She might be seriously hormonal. After the Spring, she will get better. I would sternly tell her "bad Punky" when she bites you,and then put her back in her cage. Mine is 17, I have lots of experience with the biting...

If she "laughs" after you scold her, (They are very well known to do that, take my word) make sure you stay stern with her... Over time, and after the adjustment period, she will be just fine... She had a few homes, so, she needs some time to get "stability"... Once she sees that, she'll be your best friend... Also, when she is good, make sure you tell her that too so she knows the difference.... They LOVE lots of attention, and companionship....
