I wish Syd liked my mom! We keep trying, but he's having none of it. Matter of fact, the other day he went as far as complete display....feathers foofed, wings completely open, and lunging....when she sat in the chair I was in that's near his perch. (Quickly removed him from the situation, of course)
He's never done anything quite like that to anyone before. He normally just bluffs and hisses, and generally puts on a good show....
