- Abby 2 year old Female Eclectus & Solomon 12 year old Male CAG & Dickens 4 year old CAG.
I have not been on much since I got Solomon.
A little back ground... he is 11 years old and has not had any attention for 4-5 years... anyway. I have had him for 6 weeks now,
He only says Hello.... but he makes all kinds of sounds.. I will get them recorded. He is eating well and seems to be happy. I have not been able to get him out of his cage, he would semi lunge and pin his eyes.... I would just leave the door open and talk to him while I was in the kitchen cleaning or cooking. He would whistle and make all kinds of sounds. I tried a step up stick and it freaked him out. I think he had been poked at by the previous owners son... So I have just been taking it easy. He will take treats from me very gently and has never tried to bite.
Well today was not a good day for me. I dropped my truck off at the dealership at 7 am for some warranty work. I called at 4 pm and the service tech did not know if it was fixed or not.... long story... I ask for the Courtesy Van to come pick me up.. (10 mins from the dealer) well after several phone call and no one calling me back a friend at work took me over there is was now 6:45 pm... I was fuming. Truck not fixed and the last guy I talked to promised to call me... I confronted him in front of the Service Manager...
Any way have to take the truck back tomorrow and getting a loaner..
So when I got home all the babies were excited to see me. I let the dogs out, petted the cat, opened Solomon and Abby's Cages and went back into the kitchen to get water..
Well here is a short video of what happened next.. I was holding my cell phone with my left hand... so not a great pic but will know how I feel now..
Took all my frustrations.
