A week later

It has been a week since I brought Cassidy home and today was the first day I let him out of the cage. As soon as I opened the cage and let Butch out he tried to follow but (as Deborah told me) he has some damage to his wing and she isn't sure how, or if, it will fix itself.

He took off after Butch but instead of flying up he glided to the floor. He couldn't fly back up so after awhile I lifted him to the top of the cage and he just waited there until Butch came back. He did go into the cage on his own and when Butch comes out he does also and just goes to the top of the cage.

I really wish I could capture his real colors with my camera--he has a faint but distinct purple hue with the blue in his feathers.

The tiels have left him alone which is good as I, and they, don't need any fighting!
