Pictures Buddy updates and pics!

[Respect]

Buddy’s talking up a storm. He says “peekabo” (and “peeka peeka”) loud and clear now.

Here he is this morning eating his chop. His morning routine is hilarious. I put his bowls in and he (quite sassily) climbs up top to inspect them. He sticks his head in the food dish, and then steps back as if he’s surprised by what’s inside. He excitedly struts back and forth on his perch for a few seconds, and then finally goes back to his dish and gives his chop a big kiss before he digs in

Just showing appreciation.

I love their little food routines! One of my birds has a "thank you" click he does anytime we give him something he wants.

Buddy’s really found his ability to fly! On one hand, I love his confidence and all the exercise he’s getting now.

On the other hand… I worry about him. He likes to land on picture frames and on top of the doorways, and he’s always feeling stuff with his beak. I don’t want him getting sick from chewing on paint or frames made of unknown materials.

My solution is a work in progress. I’m hoping that if I can provide him with other (safe) play areas, he’ll be drawn to those over the pictures and doorways.

I’d love to make him one of those pegboard play areas. Might get some more tabletop stands as well, and move some things around

Remember to check and not slam your doors. Over the years I bonked a couple of my feathered friends when I forgot and got lucky they weren't seriously hurt both times.

Mine will occasionally land on pictures ,door frames etc. but they never chew on them.

Had some iced tea and biscuits this morning, and had a little visitor…





I thought if I appeased him with a few crumbs of biscuit he’d let me be, but the moment I stopped paying attention to him he jumped on my cup and wiped his dirty chop beak on the rim

 

[zoo mom]

Your visitor is adorable. Shame on you for not giving him your undivided attention.

So cute

He did the cutest thing today. After I got up this morning I cuddled him for a bit. The whole time he was grumbling “what a good boy” and “you’re so cute”

Tried putting his bathing dish on the counter next to the sink rather than in the sink today. He loves bathing to the sound of running water, but it also gets him over-excited and hormonal. Getting him to step up, go in the sink, and then stay in there without chasing after my hands is a nightmare. Letting him bathe on the counter was SO much easier… until I had to clean up all the water! I think tomorrow I’ll try putting the dish on top of his cage and playing running water sounds on my phone.

This little menace pooped IN THE AIR PURIFIER! Now I’m gonna have to take it apart to get to it and clean it



This morning he also took a dyed block off of a toy and carried it all the way to the other side of the cage to put it in his water dish. So when my mom went to check on him, the dye had leached out and his water was blue!!!

Since I taped off all the tops of the pictures, he’s also started hanging off of the bottoms and sides to chew on them

He’s lucky he’s cute…

Ever since I introduced him to sink baths in his large bathing dish, he’s decided bathing in his regular water dish isn’t good enough for him

Buddy now has insurance! It seems expensive now, but I know well from my issues with past cats that it can really be worth it when the time comes.

Although he can’t say it, he seems to understand that “seed” means he’s going to get a treat now.

He also seems to be enjoying his baths more. He’s not afraid to stand directly under the faucet and get soaked

He’s also been jumping onto my shoulder recently. It’s kind of hilarious… when he comes up he also likes to mumble in my ear and tickle my face!

No new pictures yet.

I got to live out my birdie dream today… washing dishes with a parrot on my shoulder! At least until he decided to fly on top of the kitchen cabinets

Buddy also put together his own sentence! He was chattering along to the running water, mostly gibberish, but I distinctly heard him say “baby’s a good boy” (“baby” + “he’s a good boy”)
