Thanks Michael! I just wish it was bigger. It's only 11' x 11' but my mom moved in with me so she has the much bigger extra bedroom. The boys never have their cage doors shut so they do have plenty of room to play and roam around in. I used to have a big live willow tree in their old room, but it's too big to fit in this room. Lucy loved to chomp up those !eaves! I think at one point she'd taken a bite out every leaf!
Angel likes the boing. This was the first time he's been on it since his accident! I'm sure he missed it. I got an email from a friend in the Motor City breeders club today. She said Angel is at least 20 years old. I couldn't believe it. She said he's the same bird whose first owner trained him to talk and do all his tricks so he could take Angel into bars and "perform" so the old man could get free drinks! Then when he passed away his grandson got Angel. That's when he was allowed to drink booze and have pot smoke blown in his face. The grandson posted pics online of this and the SPCA stepped in and confiscated him. That's when I adopted Angel. It's sounds crazy but the grandson story is exactly what I was told when I went to pick Angel up the night he was confiscated. I'm going to talk to our vet about it next time we see her. Maybe she can determine if Angel really is that much older than I was told.
I always figured Angel was trick trained. Birds generally don't do the things he does on their own, not to mention him making appropriate comments between tricks. That's another reason I think Angel probably is the same bird named Angel that went bar hopping for free drinks!
