I got a video from my sister today of Sooty actually being handled which is something that I wasn't sure if I'd ever see.

When my sister first got Sooty, she'd clearly never been handled or had only been handled badly. She was territorial and hated it if you even dared to put your hands in her cage, she could be quite vicious but you could see that the poor girl was petrified.

My sister has been working with her, gradually gaining her trust and she's now able to stroke her and pick her up (albeit not from her cage yet). The video also showed Sooty climbing over my sister happily which is really lovely to see.
