I have had Merlin now for almost 8 months. I really feel like our relationship is getting stronger and stronger. I usually take him out of cage and put him on his cage top to eat and hang out. Or, on the tree stand in the room. I don't hold him much because of his disability he seemed uncomfortable and unstable. But, lately I have been sitting down at my desk and holding him and feeding him treats. He seems more steady or maybe just more comfortable. I am feeling great about where our relationship is going. I love my magician
