Street Cred Or The Terribly Two’s?

Street Cred Or The Terribly Two’s?

Street Cred Or The Terribly Two's?

Well, Bailey has been with me now for little over 5 months and I think she’s settled in well. After her Houdini’ trick where she flew out of the window and escaped for four agonising days, I think she’s become a bit more ‘street wise’ after mixing with the other big birds in the ‘hood’. This escapade did set her back a bit and she has become a little more ‘detached’ from us. However, she still flies to land on your shoulder (or my head) if we’re standing up in the Kitchen or leaning against the work surface, but still wont step up at all or step onto our shoulders if we offer it to her next to her cage. She does like to land on my laptop lid which is annoying as her claws will go right through the screen (not sure how I could explain that one away with the laptop insurance? Is parrot damage covered?) so I try and move her off offering bits of treats but she has none of it and just flies back to her cage.

She comes out everyday, but will never play. All she wants to do it sit on top of her cage singing, squawking, barking at the dogs, demanding a bag of chips and chatting to me or to herself. I’ve hung some of her toys to the outside so that if she changes her mind, they are there for her.

Her favourite place to sit is on top of the kitchen cupboard where she has a great view. Here she just sits and sings etc too.
She is obviously happy and is eating well and drinking plenty of juice and water. She gives me so much pleasure and so many laughs at her antics and the things she says. Her latest phrase is ‘Peanuts, peanut, peanuuuuuuuuuts!’

I’m not sure what has happened to my last diary entry, it seemed to disappear after I posted it? So apologies for that.

Here is Bailey as my latest fashion accessory.
