I love that cage. What kind is it? It looks bigger than the Rainforest one I've been looking at.
Wow it's so nice to hear about merlin! Please keep us updatedMerlin am I have gone through some BIG changes in the last few months!
First, I started taking him to work in the greenhouses. He was an excellent gardening companion:

We finished moving into a new house just as school started and I began teaching. I was definitely more stressed by the move than this nugget:

Flower power, baby
We’re still settling into the swing of things. Merlin’s been coming to school with me at the end of the day and the students love him. He’s been really patient about receiving scritches from strangers (though I make sure to have everyone “ask” with a finger waggle to demo good start-button reinforcement training techniques). He’s a good guy.
Current training focus is object retrieval. He’s more than happy to toss a block in the air until it just happens to land where I want it to. Hopefully he discovers the merits of Occam's Razor and learns to pick it up and hold it…
Ooh look at him living his best life! What a special boy he is,I'm so happy for you bothUpdate from the front: I couldn't make it as a math teacher, but then high school students can't be cajoled with seeds to do their calculus homework
Merlin is getting a lot better at identifying colors and is now putting away his toy blocks like a good bird. I introduced a vitamin supplement to his diet, and he's dropping primaries. Crossing my fingers his wings finally come in and he stops bumping his butt on the ground every time he tries to take off...
He's been enjoying his lentil sprouts:

And his paper cups:

And he made a guest appearance in my art journal with the prompt "something you couldn't live without":

I think he looks pretty good as an American classic-style tattoo, don't you?
He's such a good little man. The house would feel so empty without him, and I never walk out the door without a spirited "see you LATERALLIGATOR REEREEREEE!"
I'm excited for spring, when he can finally get outside again! For now, he has to catch the 10:00 Sun through the kitchen window.

Ooh! What a fantastic cage he's such a lucky boy.Also, Merlin’s digs have been upgraded since moving in. Here’s the current setup:

Mr. Wizard can come down using the ladder when he’s decided it’s time for breakfast together.
I haven’t named the spider plant yet. Maybe Wart AKA Arthur?
