Thank you everyone for your support. Chewie and I are off to a good start. She even talks. When I got home from work today, as I was opening the door to my place, I hear, "Hi sweet pea". I guess she likes me. LOL. She makes me a little nervous because she really wants to be out of her cage as much as possible. I guess the previous owner before she was placed in the shelter had her out of the cage all day. Unfortunately, I work full time and I can't do that, but I can let her out when I get home. She's still getting used to the layout of my place and last night when she was flying around she had no clue where she was going so I quickly put her back in her cage. I just don't want to risk any injury. Looks like we need to do some flight training and I should probably get a T stand.
I was trying to live stream the Bird channel on you tube today so she can watch and listen to birds as I was at work but the channel turned itself off after a few hours. Does anyone keep the radio or TV on for your bird? If so, what do they watch or listen to?

I just put the TV on for Bonnie some days. Most of it is crap but so I just choose whatever the least crap one is….LOL Channel 10 (Australia) has Judge Judy & The Bold & The Beautiful, which she doesn’t really object to. 🤣

Chewie seems to feel at home already. If you can, you should take her on a tour of your home so she'll get a better feel for the layout. No doubt she will adjust to your schedule and get used to not being out of her cage all day. I do leave either the radio or television on for Ralph when I go out. When I had satellite radio (Sirius/XM) I would leave the Siriusly Sinatra channel on. Ralph likes jazz and standards. Now I leave the local classical music radio station on. If I leave the television on for Ralph it's usually tuned to one of the classic TV channels. He doesn't pay that much attention to most of what's on TV but I think he appreciates the sound more than the pictures.

I have played R2D2 noises for my Meyers and he really liked that. Quaker thought it was scary but he’s a bit timid. I have found that parrots like music or natural sounds. I also play Quakers talking for my Quaker (to convince him that TALKING IS COOL).
Jasper (Meyers) says about five phrases. He has a robot voice.
