Who's this again?

What's this? The love fest between the eclectus and my mom is continuing! That bird was nuzzling my mom all over.. nibbling on her ear and preening her hair. Don't worry about me though I was out on my mom's hand getting my head rubbed at the same time the other bird was visiting. I'm really learning to like head rubs! I ruffle my feathers up on my neck and head and my mom rubs very gently- today I actually fell asleep as she was petting me.

Oh guess what? I get to go home with my mom this Wednesday!! I hear there is a new house with toys waiting for me. I can't wait!! I also overheard something about stopping at the vets office before we go home- eek..scary!!

A lovely visitor

This pretty eclectus parrot sat with my mom and me for quite awhile today. She really likes chewing on the necklace my mom made.

A busy Thursday!!

I had a good day today. My visitor came and fed me and my hatch mates some dried vegetable snacks. The boys really liked the peas, but I was a little hesitant to eat them. My neighbors, the sun conures were eating the corn with such pleasure that it made me want to try a bite of this crispy snack, and I'm so glad I did. I was a little slow eating the vegetables so my hatch mates ate most of them- those boys are greedy.
Here is a picture of my other neighbor the eclectus parrot. She is doing the famous pose called "upside down head." I wonder how we look upside down?

After snack time we played with lots of our toys. I really like chewing on these long, tan colored things. I can chew, chew, chew and they don't seem to break. Of course my beak is still a little soft; maybe later when I am older I can cut apart these stringy things. "Raaaw" that's what I hear the macaws say when they are chewing on their toys!

Raaawww! Somehow it doesn't have the same effect when I say it. I'll keep practicing!

Then I heard something being said about the flight suit. I was wondering what this suit thing could be... and then I found out! Aack!! I had something put over my wings and under my belly. The lady was really gentle with me but it felt funny on my wing pits, and on my back.

Then she set me down on the floor so I wouldn't hurt myself. I ran around to get away from this small thing that was hugging me, but it didn't let me go. I wasn't sure what to do with my right wing so I stuck it out. Eventually I stopped running around and sat still; the thing was still hugging me but it wasn't too bad.
The little green suit was taken off me after just a few minutes, what relief! I know the people were sympathetic to me, but I still think they are odd for making me wear it. Maybe I'll understand what this is about later on, right now I'm tired.
