Try some of the children's books that have sound effects. My birds always liked those. For example: The Gingerbread Man: 10 Fairy Tale Sounds (10 Button Sound): Parragon Books Ltd: 9781474860543: Amazon.com: Books
Another statement you will look back on and laugh. Then cry.
LOL. I believe I said something similar when we first got Elvis, and John made a similar reply. Actually I think he said "don't look a gift horse in the mouth".Another statement you will look back on and laugh. Then cry.
He was right- as usual (don't tell him I said that ). After chasing Elvis down from the door frame (which he wanted to chew) for the 50th time in one day, taping cardboard on the door frame so he couldn't land on it, watching him dive bomb the cardboard and yank if off and throw it to the ground so he could land back on the door frame, I did wish for the days that Elvis just sat on top of his cage. 
I know I thought of that after I wrote it! Joe tells me he's been into chasing Joe's feet! I said I wish he would chase my feet! Joe said NO YOU DON'T!Another statement you will look back on and laugh. Then cry.
Thanks you know what, I might still have a couple of those!
Elvis has begun landing on an inflatable hanging from the ceiling in the computer room. The inflatable looks like a cartoon bug...an advertisement for a bug spray (Raid) that I got when I worked for Walleyworld.He does that!?
Holy crap! My lovebirds do stuff like that but of course they're small so there isn't much they can damage lol. Wow!
Yes. And so much more. He also figured out that once he opens the cupboards, he can pull things out of the cupboards too. He is a trip. At least he keeps me from just sitting on the couch. LOL.He does that!?
I'd like to try. I think he's super smart (of course I'm probably biased) and have often thought that he needs more mental stimulation than what I've been giving. That's also why I want to get him harness trained. I think he needs to be out and about too.@sunnysmom ... watching Elvis "in action" the last few days, it could be very interesting if you worked with him with some of the techniques that were mentioned in the article...
I think you're correct with that statement.
I had forgotten how pretty a 'too looks flying free. Milton flew only short distances because it would cause him so much pain. Elvis flies around the room in such a pretty way...
Up, down, run around... sounds like Cockatoo Cardio!
You're so lucky most folks have to pay for a gym membership to get motivation and exercise like that! I could never bring a bird outside again, but it would be amazing to be able to bring Luv Bug out and about for certain errands where they allow pets, like Home Depot and not worry about her getting lost or into trouble. (Luv Bug? Trouble? No!
)
Howie and I were both so thrilled when Elvis's wings grew out so he could fly again. He is a good little flyer. Oh, and I didn't think about it when I moved his cage into your room, but Elvis loves to swing and flap on his cage door too. He'll actually twist upside down and all around.I think you're correct with that statement.

I've seen that quite a bit the last few days!
Good idea. Yes, the newspaper does fly around. He is a typically a busy bird.I've seen that quite a bit the last few days!
We have to make sure E doesn't flap the newspaper away from the side of his cage, so we stick the edges under the wheels of the cage...presto, the paper stays put...
