new pet pic thread

[TinyGiant]

the wife and I got a call from an old family friend who just went through a divorce. The wifes kids had a couple birds that they left behind. The guy called me at work asking if i wanted the birds he said there was a finch and a parrot. So i went to today to pick up the birds. The finch was a common finch. On the way home i donated the finch to a local pet store :) The other bird was a pacific parrotlet which is a tiny parrot. super smart. The guy said he was neglected and not handled often if at all. So we got him home and cleaned up the cage (disgustingly overdue) and gave him some appropriate seed and fruits and veggies (since its a parrot and likes variety) Just a few min ago i decided to start sticking my hand in the cage t get him used to it. after about 5 min he started walking toward it and hanging upside down. I soon cornered him and started scratching his head. He didnt bite and quickly took to the scratching. long story short 10 min later we have him out of the cage, doing the finger transfers, we can pick him up over its back to palm it. super trusting now .. it must have had some handling before.

its name was Lima Bean.. its now Gumby.
