Hello all,

I'm including some pics I took today of Puff as she is getting some new feathers in and looking great, imo! She's doing so well now I'm just so happy for her, she is choosing to interact in small ways with some of the other birds, which for her is a big deal as she has in the past preferred to not interact with other birds at all. One thing I have changed is that she sleeps in the bird room all by herself and comes out only when she wants to, I have found this to be a big help to relax her and lower her overall stress. In the past she has spent a great deal of time hiding out in my kitchen cupboards, so in an attempt to stop this, and stop this other issue I was having that she was hating going into her cage at night and freaking out, I tried allowing her to be in the bird room and not be caged. This actually accomplished quite a lot of issues I had been having with her and most importantly it reduced her stress level in a big way. Now in the mornings I open the door, tell her good morning, make breakfast and feed everyone, ask if she wants to come out for breakfast and sometimes she does and other times I feed her in her room. Some days she spends most of the day in there, others she comes right out when I say good morning. It is always her choice, if she doesn't come out, I do go in and visit her quite a bit during the day of course, and even the other birds will go in to visit her, and she seems to be fine with all of it. So I have seen no reason to change it. The results speak for themselves, at least imo, of course.
here are pics of her today, and pics of her room.

OK,  well no weight loss or gain,  either way that is quite the improvement. She is being a bit more lively and fiesty today as well. I asked her to step up and she gave me one foot and not the other, and chose to bite my finger. Not hard but enough to let me know she had an opinion about me moving too fast for likeness. It may not seem like much but to me it is huge, she is alert enough to not just comply with whatever and let me know she was unhappy about something. This is not something I have seen since starting this process and until it happened I didn't even realize it was missing. So making this little change seems to have made a big difference. Now let's get that weight back up! She did take a few bites of her favorite fruit today, banana, well second favorite, grapes are #1 but mainly for the juice so the banana actually gives her more. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic now that I've seen some natural behaviors come back. I know this is not something that is ea
OK, she weighed in at a big 'ol 299 today!  She's getting more of her personality back as well. Telling me no more often, which is always OK, and I'm glad to see her doing again. However I've noticed her desire to be close to me much more, choosing to sleep on me and when I try to put her into her cage at night after our cuddles, she really tries to cling to me. She's finally showing more interest in foods as well, so hopefully this keeps going.
So I've been giving Puff the 1/1 mixture at 05 ml for a week now. She has some new feathers, so all I can do is watch and see. Her personality is in full bloom, she's still the picky eater I know her to be. With me giving her hand feeding formula twice a day, fresh foods and her daily nuts and pellets her weight is staying steady at about 315 grams.
