last week I brought Dexter back into the bedroom with his mate Sundance.
Dexter was my very first cockatiel, hand tamed and fell in love with him at first sight, we really took to each other. I don't talk about him much, like I do about my other birds, but he is usually breeding.
he's the dad of Num Num, Angus & Sponge, who just recently passed away.
I've had Dexter almost 4 years, he is an awesome bird, talks, and is a GREAT FATHER
when he is with Sundance he gets VERY protective and nasty, so I stay away, missing him terribly.
It's been almost 9 months since I've handled him, yes that's right, 9 months!!
that is a life time for me never mind him, but I always miss him, and try and let him out for some flight time before going back to his fatherly duties.
you would think by now he would not want me at all, but he's quite the affectionate one, even after all this time.
Once in the bedroom,the first thing I did was mist him, and he thoroughly enjoyed his bath time. He flew on to me, soaking wet, climbed up to give me a kiss, well, you could have knocked me over with a feather!....my heart literally melted....
he proceeded to prune himself while he perched on my hand, so I grabbed my camera and started taking pics.
He then climbed up onto my shoulder and decided to just hang there, so here we go with the pics.... this was a very special day for me I just love my Dexie, those days are way to few and far between!!!
