🌼 Welcoming Daisy to the Grove

Sometimes, the right glider finds you at just the right moment, as was the case mid-December.

That was the case with Daisy, a sweet girl whose story reached us through a rehoming post online. Her previous keepers clearly cared deeply for her—and what stood out most wasn’t panic or urgency, but love and responsibility.

A Loving, Thoughtful Transition

Daisy had recently lost both of her cage mates, and her family didn’t want her to face life alone. At the same time, they had a lot going on personally and weren’t in a position to bring additional gliders home right then. Instead of forcing a situation that wouldn’t be fair to Daisy—or to themselves—they chose what was best for everyone involved: finding Daisy a home where she could have companionship, stability, and the chance to truly settle in again. That kind of decision takes heart.

A Soft Landing with the Aetherwood Girls

Once Daisy arrived, we moved slowly and thoughtfully, just like we do with every new introduction. After careful observation and gentle steps forward, Daisy was welcomed into the Aetherwood girls’ cage—a steady, friendly group with a calm social dynamic.

We watched closely (and yes, we hovered like anxious parents 😅), but Daisy made herself at home surprisingly quickly. Shared snacks. Calm body language. No dramatic squabbles. Before long, she was doing the best sign of all: choosing to settle in—the kind of comfort you can’t fake.

And ever since then, she’s been doing wonderfully.

Why Daisy’s Story Matters

We love sharing the stories of joeys born here at the Grove, but Daisy is a reminder that some of the most meaningful chapters begin midway through the book. She’s not just “fitting in”—she’s becoming part of the rhythm of her colony, and part of the heart of the Grove.

We’re grateful her previous keepers cared enough to put her needs first, and we’re honored to be part of her next chapter.
