Holy Cow! I didn't get up early enough, I fixed the wrong thing for breakfast, I didn't put him down where he wanted to be, I was in the way for our morning flights through the room, didn't have the right toys in the foot bucket! Not sure there was much more that I could have done wrong lol. But luckily they are so smart and a stern look, a polite I CAN and WILL put you back in that cage and you have 15 minutes to think about it, makes all the difference in the world!:blue1::)

If I am even 15 minutes late getting out to do the birds in the afternoon, boy do they let me know it. I guess I am really on a routine! I guess everyone and everything is entitled to have a bad day or two. Since they are my "kids", they do get put on time-outs. Then they are like "Mommy, I love you, pick me up!" But I don't fall for that right away. Okay maybe 5 minutes later. You are not alone!:blue:

Guess we all have bad days. :)
In the morning Mishka sits on her little tray in the bath, while I clean her night cage.
This morning I accidentally left the shower spray on, drenching her with water.
She said to me don't do that, stop it.
THEN to put the cherry on the cake she said
Time out mommy now.
It was hilarious
Great day

Your time will come, Russell will have you in stitches
When Mishka sees me holding a mop or broom she says mommy's cleaning
THEN when the vacuum comes out....mommy cleaning again.
I swear they are more human than what we think.
Guess I had better get her a birth certificate, with our surname included on it. LoL
Take care

I must admit that many of the stories I have read her make my laugh out laugh. :32: And I see that I am not alone doing the bidding of my bird. ;)

When Apache does something I would prefer him not to do again, I tell him he hurt my feelings. :54:

Generally he stops whatever he is doing and just needs a "hug" to assure him that I'm really ok, but sometime I think he files it away for a time when he wants to give me a hard time.......
