Had a Good Day With Max

Posted by Max on 7/11/2025, 7:56 pm

Max actually played with my foot for two minutes and he flew to my head.
At the beginning he interacted with me a little and then completely stopped. It will take a long time to get him less scared of me. I'm not giving up and I'm trying to make him as comfortable as possible.

Every time you share about Max, I think of my Mr Tweets. He's so much like Max, they could be siblings. I hope Max realizes you're always goign to be good to him, and warms up to you lots more. I hope the same for Mr Tweets and me.

He went back to normal today. I'm still feeling bad about Dorian. I can't seem to let it go. In hind site there were other options. I just don't make good decisions under pressure anymore.

Also with regard to Max If I had any family left I would definitely get him a companion. I just don't

One funny thing, he needs a good preening on top of his head. I wish he would let me do it. When I hand feed him avi cakes I try to get my fingers to touch his head and he goes crazy. My other birds loved it.

I know, I'd love to give Mr Tweets a good scritching. But, he's not there yet. He's like Max One step forward, two steps back. He lets you had feed him, that's a good thing.

It's so hard to know what is right with our birds, especially when they are sick. You could have tried every option, with the same outcome. I hope, that soon, you'll remember the love you put into his life, and know, he knows, you did the best you could, that anyone could do..

You're making progress even if it's at a slow pace.

I did the same thing regarding Shiloh. But I think that like seesthru said, the outcome would have been the same for her.
