My name is Macey Grace
I am a Green-cheeked Conure
I am female
I am left pawed, I think
I don't know my hatchday
I was adopted on Tuesday August 7, 2007

The things that I eat (my likes & dislikes):
 

Macey came to me as  major seed junkie she is currently converting to Harrisons.  She loves bananas, apples, scrambled eggs, whole grain pasta, rice and breads.  The verdict's still out on most veggies.  I still serve them everyday, but she usually doesn't eat them! She is begining to munch on brocolli and sweet potatoes though. 

Don't tell her, but I do hide steamed veggies and crushed pellets in her scrambled eggs!


What does my house (cage) look like:
 

She just got a new metal cage about three weeks ago. It's green with a black speckled texture to it. I don't remember the brand, but it's 22x20x35 with a play top.  It's very nice!  It took a couple of weeks for her to accept it.  It's so much more spacious than what she'd had, I think it was overwhelming.  We just left it up and let her in to play and have treats in it for a while and eventually she got used to it. 

Now she gets around it like a little monkey.  First thing in the morning I open the top and it's open all day.  She doesn't spend that much time in there during the day anyway.  Mostly just when I can't keep an eye on her or she seems sleepy and I'm too bust for quiet time with her.


My personality can be described as:
 

She's sweet, affectionate, loving, a little shy at times with new people, but she like most everyone  if they don't try to rush her.  She loves her momma most of all though!

She's got a good sense of humor too.  She'll do something funny and we'll laugh and then she'll have to do it again and again, each time checking to make sure we're all still watching! 

She's just an angel!!!!!


The toys I have (my likes and dislikes):
 

Ha! A toy box full!  I have to be careful with toy introduction as she didn't have them before I adopted her.  Right now she's keen on her "wicker" ball toys, a hanging toy that has preening ropes, beads and wooden blocks wrapped up in paper to look like candy,  and a cute little saftey pin shaped toy with a bell and little acrylic pacifiers hanging down.  She also likes bits of paper to rip up and her corner cozy that she sleeps next to. There are a couple of toys in there that she tolerates but doesn't seem to play with. 

She also has a "toy box" in her cage.  It's just an extra feeding cup, but I put paper balls in there, other foot toys and occasionally I'll hide a treat or two.  She's catching on and now checks her toy box for new things!

I bought her a preening toy made of peacock feathers and she was terrified of it!  I think the spots on it looked like big eyes to her.  Needless to say, it's no longer in there.


The sounds that I make (and the words I speak):
 
She's a quiet girl.  She does get in the mood to be vocal, but it's never obnoxious.  She's says "what?" and makes lots of other "Macey noises"  that I find quite endearing.  Whenever she wants to touch base with me, especially if she's unsure about something she does this clicking noise.  As to say "am I ok mom? Are you ok mom?  I love you."  She'll often give me a kiss if I make that noise to her.  Or, I'll just ask for one with words and the kissing noise and she'll give me one.  When I say "oh, thank you Macey for the kiss" it's usually followed by 2 or 3 more. 

Something special about me:
 

Does she have something special?  It's all special to me!!!  I love the sounds she makes, the softness of her feathers, the way she smells and the way she knows how I'm feeling.   Living with her is like getting free therapy!
