2010 June

I actually feel physically sick with adrenaline right now. I just had Sammi on my lap and gave him a tickle!! I was so worked up over getting bitten but I really feel Ive overcome a hurdle with him and he trusts me more. Its made my day!!!

Today we got Sammi’s ‘coat’ on and took him outside to stretch his wings! We think this may be the first time in his 33 years that he has been harnessed and taken out so we feel a real big achievement in having done it. He clung so hard to Dil but at the same time looked so excited to be outside and ‘free’ instead of in his cage. He had a little flap and fly around, he sampled a few odd logs we have dotted about and he walked on the grass. It was a beautiful sight to see and we are so proud of him. After bringing him inside I was talking to him and he never fluffed up. I offered him a sunflower seed and he stuck his little tongue out, licked my finger and so gently took the seed! I was so happy that he never ripped my finger off along with it. HaHa! He is such a little character, we love him so much and cant imagine being without him now. Im even trying to persuade Dil to get a Pak-O-Bird for him, but he has to be 100% on it as only he can really handle Sammi. Here are some pics of him enjoying the garden.
