Finally, I find a bird community with intelligent, helpful people.
Hi there, I'm owned by a 1.5-year-old female cinnamon tiel (Cinnabun), and 3 bossy budgies (Beep, Bic, and Miko).
(Small picture of my Cinna and her human, here)

I've had Cinna since October of '04. On my birthday, my best friends blindfolded me and walked me to a shop in town sells only birds.. and I loved this little girl immediately.
Since our day one, she always calls to me when I'm around, or calls to my mother.. She sits on my shoulder or on my desk while I'm doing homework (grueling, grueling double major) .. but as of late, I haven't been around enough.
In the mornings (around 6am) I move her from her spot in my room where she sleeps, to out in the common room near the big cage with the budgies. I often don't get home this semestre until 9 or so, and by the time I take her out of her cage, she. is. a. lunatic. *out of her mind* ... circles the room, calling frantically, won't let me pick her up and hold her, won't let me scritch her, won't stay on my shoulder.
I feel *so badly.*

And now, she hardly chirps at all. She halfheartedly plays with the toys in her cage, but she seems so depressed. She still eats, etc etc. Sometimes if i take her out, she'll fly around a bit and then sit atop her cage. She'll call a bit when she hears my keys in the door, or when I first come in. . . but she's getting more and more silent.

Can you guys think of anything I can do to make my little one happy again? This is really tearing me to pieces.
