Since Pea has started stepping up to me, we have been cuddling at night for a half an hour to an hour. I try to be consistent with her schedule and she is trusting me more and more, although she still tests me. It is very hard to not snuggle and cuddle with her all the time but I don't want her to be "over spoiled" and start screaming for me. She's out of her cage for a few hours and then before bed we have our cuddle time.

Thanks everyone! She is my little cuddle bug...Sassy and Cisco are not cuddly...sweet but not cuddly. Now I'm working on getting Pea further away from her cage. She freaks if I get more than a few steps away from it. I have made it to the center of the couch that's closest to her cage when cuddling but that's it. Oh well, baby steps...we will get there...

That is adorable. Husband doesn't think birds will cuddle so I showed him your pics. He was awed. Nice job!

I showed these pics to my friend that I got Pea from (she only had her for about a month and only got her to get her away from her sister's because of the way she was (wasn't) being taken care of) and she said she didn't know Pea would cuddle like that.:D

Most Toos like to cuddle. I won't say all of them because I'm not 100% sure but the ones that I personally know...love to cuddle.

I did the cuddle thing with Yeti last night and he didn't move for several minutes. I think he was in shock that someone wanted to cuddle.

Yes, I think Peanut is in shock that I want to cuddle too. She hasn't had anyone to trust for so long. When you have time, post more pics of Yeti...I love pics..lol:32:

Ok - I will try to get more pics this weekend. It is so nice of you all to want pics. However, this weekend is my grandson's first birthday party so if I take pics...it should be of him. :p

With Peanut, both wearing birthday hats :D

My galah will put her head down to get petted, but she doesn't lie down like that.

As soon as I let her out of her cage I have her step up for a hug. I usually have to do this a few times as one hug is just not enough for me:10:. Then we have our "long" cuddle time before bed. Of course we pet her everytime we walk past and talk/dance with her too...just can't help it:D.

How precious! It looks like you both are enjoying that cuddle time:)

Yes, we both enjoy our cuddle time. I don't know which of us enjoy it more:30:. It is VERY hard to end it, but I don't want the "Too" repercussions if she thinks she can be on me all the time;)
