Came in from the snow yesterday...Milton noticed, of course...

Milton: "YOU WET!"

Me: Yes, it's snowing, so I'm wet, Bird.

Milton: "I NOT WET...BAD"...

Anyway, I knocked the snow off and walked past Milty...

Milton: "YOU WET"...

Me: No, Milton...I'm dry now...

Milton: "DRY...NOT WET?"...

Me: Yes Bird, I'm dry...not wet....

Milton: "YOU DRY...OK"...

I'm waiting to see if the word "DRY" sticks around...and to see if Milty understands it...

He’s so smart, I bet he does understand. I like how once he knows you’re not wet anymore it’s okay. No fair if your wet and he’s not!

It has seemed like he says he's "bad" when he decided to pluck in the past.
Is he staying away from his feathers now? Better watch him. He's so smart.

You're quite correct in that way. He will fake-yes, fake- grabbing and pulling feathers out on his chest when he thinks he should have somebody pay attention to him.
The sides of his face are almost completely grown back. Underneath his beak still remains featherless. Actually, unless you look closely, you don't notice the "bald" area underneath his beak...

The best part about that is that they're all back on Cockatoo Causeway so you can catch up on the feathered demon...at least he's being one today...;)

I can't wait until Freddy starts to interact with us more. I am told it takes quite a bit of time. I'm patient, and think we're doing well in the 3 weeks we have had him.

Iloved Milty saying "I not wet...Bad..." Indicating he wanted to be wet. He has a one track mind.
That's for sure!

Today, Milty asked for "cake" for the first time in awhile. I think it's because he saw me eating a cookie, which he couldn't have any of...chocolate chip..;)
