Sorry I haven't been on been very busy last couple weeks. Having a big shutdown at work for upgrades so have a lot of planning and parts to buy etc.
So I figured out the aggression inside his cage towards his mirror, banging it around like a crazy person. After each attack he looks in the mirror and says hrmfp 3 times, ...hrmfp, hrmfp, hrmfp....while looking at the reflection. Then later I saw him with the mirror tucked in between his wing and his body kind of rubbing a bit.... I looked at him and he looked at me so I went back to my book so he could have alone time....he's...definitely a slave to the hormones right now.
For christmas I got him some new perches to add to the way he moves around the cage, but he only liked the wood branch one; not the nail and beak dulling one, he was moving around it like he was unsure of it so I removed it for now...I'll put it back in a few weeks. He also got a 20oz bottle of orange juice of his very own and some treats.
Oh, I got some chex mix and there was some cheerios in it, I tried to give him a cheerio but he wasn't interested, so I put it on my shoulder, I've seen him drop food but he literally picked up and threw the cheerio onto my lap...(spoiled insane bird).
He's working on "ok" I don't know why I waited so long for that phrase, he's really good with "come here", "come on", "I love you", "kissy", "what cha' doing?" etc. in context.
Things are cold as "Winterfell" here in Minnesota, I'm sure my utility bill will be pretty high this month from keeping my little guy warm and comfortable but, alas it's worth it.
Anyways I'll try to be on more, but it's just a busy time of year for work and social.
