....your elbow looks like this   Cage marks from leaning on the door while hand feeding my 2 little darlings today, my arm went numb. All totally worth it to watch both girls take millet from between my fingers and exploring my hand with their beaks. Happy silent squealy moment. I'm VERY happy with that  |

I think we have all been there at some time. Glad the girlies are appreciative of your efforts. |

That's great, I'm glad that they're taking millet from you. The war wounds are worth it |

A tip I found made life much easier: place a flannel on the cage door opening to lean on..... much more comfortable! (Just place it there slowly in case they freak out at the sight!) 🙂

Great news, both girls putting a tentative foot on my hand as they eagerly strip the millet, and one (blue girl slightly less flighty) occasionally hops onto my hand for short periods. YAAAAAY! *happy dance* |

Well done!!
To avoid that pain, in the past I have placed my chair so the back is by the open door so I rested my arm on the chair back rather than the cage door. Heights & all have to match though!
