Hello,
I just adopted a 2yr old Sun. We are working with Echo's behavior as I don't think he was handled often, if at all. His wings are not clipped and I am wondering if we should take him now, while we are just begining to gain his trust or should we wait? Any advise would be appreciated!
Thanks! Kara and Echo

Cool! I had a pet rat when I was a kid. She went swimming with us in the creek near our house. Too bad they live such short lives. They are VERY smart.
