New family member =D

Journal Entry: Tue Jul 7, 2009, 7:34 AM
Last Sunday my boyfriend and I drove all the way to Emporia to pick up our newest member, a 10 year old blue crowned conure =D. She is not really use to being handled yet since she was a breeder for most of her life but she is really not that wild. She is hand shy and I cannot handle her yet but she is starting to respond. I bet in a few months she will be just as sweet as the rest of my flock. We decided to call her Touka.
The former owner said she talks but touka has not shared her vocab with us yet. Just lots of screaming after I didn't put a peanut in her dish. Part of her initial training is to get her to accept her favorite snack (unsalted peanuts) from my hand. She doesn't get any until she takes it from the hand or maybe a notched stick to start with. I have my work cut out for me but hey I have 40 years to accomplish it. The bird is only 10 =D

  • Mood: Thrilled
  • Listening to: pandora
  • Reading: computer manuals
  • Watching: computer screen
  • Eating: food!!!!
  • Drinking: mmmm apple juice!

Yo! My real name is Kortney and I am currently a student as WSU and I am about to graduate with a degree in art in one year.
I do enjoy/draw anthro art and I love how the characters look but thats as far as it goes. I have respect for the furry community and there are a lot of good people in that crowd but I do not consider myself one of them.
My main fascination is with expression and emotion as shown on humans and animals. I am a studying illustrator and I grew up with talking animal characters. I also love a good laugh!
Sure, I do other things but my page here on Deviant art has only the stuff I do on my own free will and doesn't include assignments unless I really really love them.
Anyhow enjoy your visit. I am slow to respond and post sometimes due to my hectic schedule but I'll get around to you if you leave a message =D
