Day 24

I didn't come home till about 7pm...*sigh*

but once i came home, i took pico out, talked with him, gave him some apple juice and took him around the apartment. actually, i tried to place pico directly on his play stand after taking him out of his cage, but he didnt want to. it seems that i have started a routine when taking him out of his cage - walk around the apartment into the different rooms and take him upstairs to see if the big bird is set outside of his owner's apartment to say hi. then i come back down and then pico goes happily onto his play stand. very interesting.

i made some pasta for dinner, so of course all birds got some noodles - they just inhale it.

pico thought he needed a really good full body preening session, so i left him to his handiwork.

hubby came home and i talked to pico more - i think just talking to pico softly and animatedly (using his name often) has really brought him around to trusting and liking me more. he listens so intently and shakes his head occasionally. and then when he is ready, he bows his head in my direction to let me know that he wants a head scratch.

today was the last night for his meds...yay! he'll go to the vet again to check to see if everything is okay and then thats it. (hoping!)
