That's why I say I'm very lucky to have come across a bird like Rocky. He was listed in a small ad for $200, and when I went to see him he looked incredible and didn't make a single sound other than hissing at me. He was in that home for over a year, and didn't like people at all, he especially wanted nothing to do with me. Three weeks later he was playing dead in the palm of my hand because he trusted me so much.
I've never covered his cage, have never had to turn up the tv or talk in the other room because of him, and he's gentle and very docile. When he sustained an eye injury I had to administer eye drops, and this picture is the epitome of how much he trusts me. Keep in mind: the camera was on a timer so I had to hold this position for a few seconds, and he didn't budge.
I know people who won't hold still for that long for eye drops!
