Good morning you lovely lot 💕 I am up with the parrots again this morning, but there is no work to rush into, do I can sit and have a leisurely cuddle with Ziggy while listening to Toby chomp away 😊

I'm glad to say there was no repeat of the toe tapping episode the other night, so it looks like it might be too many dried papaya treats that did it.

All my birds love those treats - they are like parrot crack cocaine if their reactions when you rattle the pack are anything to go by 😊 But he had about three or four that day and Eclectus are known to be sensitive to dried fruit - even without any sulphate as these are apparently. I'm glad it was an easy explanation though. Chasing down food intolerances is a painful process of elimination that I haven't had to do in a while. It's why his diet isn't very adventurous- I stick to the foods I know don't cause him any issues.

When he first came to us it took me a while to figure out that corn and strawberries both caused wing flipping and budgie seed - cited by Eclectus breeders as something they feed to their birds - caused awful toe tapping. They are very complex parrots for sure, and every one is different.

I have to go to the dentist this morning to have that wobbly molar pulled out. Not looking forward to that, but it needs to be done. Until then I am going to relax with some Stardew Valley and later , afterwards, it's back to crochet orders.

Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗

Good morning my Fine Fedi Friends 💕 I'm up early with the parrots once again. Grant offered to get up for them, but I don't really get much of a long lie on a work day so I prefer just to get up and sort them out. They are all munching away after a very brief cuddle with Ziggy who was too hungry for much playtime today.

Toby has started mimicking the microwave and he has the beeping sound down to a T..I ran through yesterday thinking something was up with it (we had one previously catch fire due to an electrical fault) before I realised the sound was actually coming from the living room 🙂 He seems to prefer noises to talking. At night when he sits with me he loves it if I make "too too too" sounds. He puts his beak right up against my face and repeats the noise. He also likes the "Kiss, mwah!" game. Anything that involves sticking his beak in my face basically 😂

Work again today. Lots to get on with, but happily fairly free of meetings for a change.

Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗

Our New Cat

Name: Toby

Age: 4 years

Birthday: February 11, 2021

On March 2nd we welcomed a new member to our home. His name is Toby and he already feels like a part of the family.

Toby doesn't speak when anyone is in the room, but now that I have moved to the kitchen to get some brekkie I can hear him saying "Kiss!" in my voice and making kissing noises 😊
