Hi, Pierre! Searching for an answer and came across your site. I was just getting to the finger stage with my Pete, moved his cage to another room, and now he’s biting my finger. I don’t react to the bites, but he’s no longer “hand friendly.” Do I have to start the “trust” process all over? Thanks!!

I adopted a parakeet last week from my local shelter. They received her as a stray. Nothing is known about her age or history. I am being very slow and calm around her. However, the past two days she appears depressed. Her cage has a mirror and she sits next to it constantly. She does not explore her cage or toys at all. At first, she chirped loudly to it, but now she is silent. I imagine she is lonely, but I’m concerned she may not accept another into her world. Should I purchase a companion or remove her mirror, or let things be?
