Parrot in the Pantry
I just put my parrot in the pantry and he's making, "Look, I found a place for you to lay eggs" noises. :D My Senegal is copying his noises...birds are weird.

6. Actually, he got really antsy so I put him night-night. :)

He has a crop full of chili and still doesn't like my new hair color. It's time for night-night.

10. Yeah...they crack me up. :)
I just love the sounds Gabby makes, though. He's so predictable. Any dark space will set him off.

12. Gideon likes to try to coax me under his cage
He gets under there and coos and says, "Hiiiii" and generally tries to get me to go nest.

13. Does he have certain times of the year when he's more...
...amorous? As I recall, my fellow aviculturists' umbrella cockatoos would go to nest nearly any time of the year. Amazons like spring and according to Gabby, spring has been here since February. :)
