Are you kidding! Of course you're not boring, at least not me!!!I hope I am not boring anyone. You are my only audience who shares an interest in these birds!
Racing homers are usually trained to come to the feed call and eat up right away, twice a day. They know if they don't eat at 'dinner' time they miss out til next meal. But I agree with @cavemanrich that Rosie was probably released with her mates when the owner died and so experienced some very hard times.he gorges herself in the morning because she does not know if the food will be there later o
I have noticed that the approach of a hand from above tends to cause avoidance more than say touching a foot or the belly area. Also, I can touch some (while on a perch in the aviary) with my forehead and not get a flight response. Interesting how they interpret the dangerousness of different parts and actions of a human. Even my tamest ones that fly to me and land on my head do not enjoy being picked up and held. (Except for Doo, who loves those opportunities to bites and gnaw on me like a puppy.) I think I would not like to be picked up by a giant, even if the giant was my friend.e seems to enjoy gentle touch after a while, and calms and fluffs her feathers, but she is wary of the approach of the hand.
Please keep the updates coming.
