I swear every day I discover something new with Buddy. In March of 2014 Buddy came to live with us after both of his owners passed away. I was able to trace Buddy's original owners and found out that he is 24 years old. For the most part, Buddy is mellow, he has his mood swings but is a lover and I have never had a bird that is so trusting and when with me he is less skiddish of things. If I'm touching something with him on my shoulder, he wants to touch it, lol.
Two weeks ago he decided that he has to come out of his cage every morning and sit on my shoulder. He's never spent that much time with me but now we make coffee together, check email, watch the news and other things like decorating the tree, wrapping gifts, all with Buddy on my shoulder, his choice. I still am awed that he's 24 years old, my longest living pet was my dog Festus, 17 years, growing up and now it's Buddy making me more comfortable to really bond with him because he's going to be around for a long time. Now that's a permanent family member for sure!
