Tonight my 3.5yo son, Levi, looked at Tsali my CAG in his cage and suddenly got upset.

L:”Mommy, Tsali is sad”

I looked at Tsali, he looked fine.

Me:”No honey, he’s fine.”
L:”no, he’s sad. Where are his friends? Where are the other birdies?”
Me:”they are all in their cages.”
L:”maybe he wants his friends. Go get them.”
Me:”no honey, Tsali doesn’t like the other birds to come in here. That would make him mad.” (Tsali rules the dining room and truly hates intrusions into his territory)
L (stares and thinks for a while): Maybe he wants his dinner?”
Me: “He already had his dinner, see- wait. Where is his dinner?”

Sure enough he had a full bowl of veggies sitting on top of his cage.

Seriously, he did NOT look or act upset! But somehow my little kid picked up on it when I didn’t notice ANYTHING. Poor Tsali would have gone without his dinner and I wouldn’t have noticed until morning! I went and double checked the other cages just in case but it was just the one cage.

Levi and Tsali have only hands-off interaction because of his age but they’ve always seemed to have a special bond. I don’t have a recent picture of them together but here’s the first time I caught them sneaking friendship, about 2 years ago.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
A fascinating insight into Levi's young mind before many adult "filters" begin operating. Bet Tali's opinion of him went up sharply, they are destined to be very close!!

The interactions of young Humans and their abilities to see /hear those tiny points of communications have always set me back in wonder. Scott really nailed it. Adult filters block so much out.

To be fair he still had pellets but who wants to eat dry food for supper?
