hello folk , first time owner here, this is jolbak
i brought her home 2 days ago , and i have a few questions

  1. is what she's doing in the video normal ? she did that for a few minutes and then went to sleep
  2. is sleeping in middle of the day normal ? i suppose this a bit obvious to ask because i usually don't sleep until 1:00 at nights and she's up because of the lights (altho i do turn off most of the lamps except for one)
  3. she runs her peck through her fethers (but she doesn't pick them) i don't know if this is feather plukcing that i've seen lovebirds do out of stress or she's simply cleaning herself like i've seen hens do it (ai said if it's not focused on one place - which is not - it's not plucking)
  4. i tried giving her some out of cage time but she kept hitting herself against the window trying to get out so i don't think i'll let her out of the cage for a while , how long do you think i should wait before she will stop trying to escape when given out of cage time ?
  5. she's 2 months old , should i get her a friend or wait sometime before doing so ?
  6. i tried offering her some apples and lettuce but she didn't show any interest , do i have to give it to her in a special way so she would eat them ?
  7. i've given her 2 water container, one of them is a regular bird cage water containers with a narrow end , the other is like a bowl , i was expecting her to drink from the former and bathe in the latter , she ignores the former and drinks from the latter any tips on how to introduce the former to her ?
