The ever mischievous Kiwi!

I was telling mommy in my own special way she forgot to bathe me today! Sweet potatoes EVERYWHERE (especially on the undersides of my feet)

SO RUDE!!! He normally doesn't eat that close as to be able to pilfer food off your fork, but we had guests so I had to sit him right next to me.

Enjoying the last bit of warm weather at his favorite park/pond. He just loves the fact he is now allowed to sit on my shoulder. All the geese he likes honking at have moved on for the winter so he's a little disappointed his buddies are gone

It definitely is a process, but like bird man said, it's a great thing! And nothing is wrong with using a harness, they just like getting out!

If he weren't so darn cute, hubby might've eaten him for dinner by now He's become quite the social butterfly over the years, and that often leads to mischievous acts:54:

I have a harness for Zilla, but she is in strict disagreement with me on how we are going to use it. Her preferred way is to chew on it and squawk at me, then growl at me and run away growling at me for even trying to put it on her! So she goes outside in a travel cage for now and we'll keep working on her wearing the harness!

I'm always struck anew by the beauty of Kiwi's plumage! Glad he's enjoying his new shoulder privileges, as well as the benefits of being your official taste-tester. Lol!
