my dear friends have come a long way with acclimating to me! most of the birds in these gifs are wild adult birds who became non-releasable due to life altering injuries. some were even harmed directly by humans, so they really have no reason to think positively of me at all. on top of that, i provided medical care for all of these birds, which definitely starts us off on the wrong foot! i am incredibly honored that despite all of this, i am slowly but surely starting to gain their trust ❤️ every last one of my birds will now eat in front of me, sing in front of me (!!!!), and is unbothered by the sound of my voice or my movements. INCREDIBLY exciting :]
