I'm the quiet leader.
Don’t let the bravado from Turks fool you, I’m running the show here! We were pardoned by the same backyard butcher. Turks and I were each in our own carriers during the journey to the Haven. We had never been put in pet carriers before and we certainly had never been in a car. It was a very quiet car ride. We did not know what was going on so we were not sure what to say.
When we first arrived at the Haven, I felt at home right away and ran right out of the carrier to explore. Turks stayed in the carrier for a long time even after the door was open. I told him that everything was cool here. I even sat on top of his carrier to try to tell him, but he still stayed in there for a long time.
We have a lot more space here than we did before. Our old home had very low ceilings, so we never got to fly. I figured out how to fly first. For the first few nights at the Haven, I flew up and perched in the rafters to sleep, but Turks stayed on the ground. I helped him learn and now he loves to fly and we both perch on the rafters at night.
