Yup, it's a female Don't try straight yogurt! I was talking about the yogurt biscuit-type treats available at pet stores. Birds are lactose intolerant, I believe, so it wouldn't be too wise to feed them straight yogurt. Celery leaves are a greyt treat! You place a couple celery leaves on your open palm to entice Spike to eat it from your hand. It'll take a few days for her to acclimate to your hand, so it's perfectly normal if she doesn't eat from your hands the first time. Any progress is good progress!
