Hello Erika & Dennis And Welcome to the Family :01:

A little clarification please. You've been together for 3 years OR you've been together since you were 3 years old?

 

[ErikaDunkelheit]

Thank you guys! =) We are also happy to be here!

A bit more about our story:

Dennis is for sure 37 years old, eventually older. Back then when was bought from the store they couldn't say how old it was.
He lived 34 years in a cage with barely humans contact (whisteling if the humans were in a good mood and that's it) food and water. When i got him 3 years ago (he was too noisy and the previous owners they were keeping him in a isolated room with a blanket on top to keep it calm - they wanted to get rid off of him) i ve tried slowly slowly to get in touch with him, spoiling him with little presents and a lot of attentions...

Now we live almost in symbiosis. He's constantly on my shoulders, we eat together from the same bowl and the same food (i m vegan and i find the versele laga exotic mix fruits and seeds AMAZING!!!) ---->I'm still waiting to develop my wings ahahahahaah!

We could even sleep together: i don't trust myself during the sleep, so I'm afraid i can hurt him if i move during the night. but in the morning the last half hour of rest we spend it together. Me laying down on the left side and Dennis on my right shoulder like a little guardian angel. Because this is what he is. Is an angel!!!!!!!

When i go out i have a little carrier and he loves to look outside the basket of my bike, we live in Amsterdam (for now). He's super friendly with everybody and everybody falls in love with him ! (not possible not loving him =))
If it's too cold i wrap his carrier on a blanket to protect him from the wind, and when i check from time to time he looks at me and he sweetly whistle as to say: yes everything ok! If we have to use the public transports he loves to look outside of the windows is not afraid of any noise or fast movements. He's so brave!

He doesn't fly, only short but really clumpsy transitions maybe from my hand to the table. I try to get stronger his wings training him on the bed where he can land soft and with no dangers but we have to work and train a lot since i don't know how really old is he (could be also 50 years old).

Let's say we saved each other lifes. I saved him from the endless being caged and not loved. And he's saving me from some traumas i got in the past caused by a bad person.
So when i have the flashbacks of bad memories i just sing and cuddle him and everything is ok =)
He has the Emotional Support Animal Id Card and Letter if i need to travel.

He hates the aviator, he cannot stand it. i've tried as explained in the cd i got with it, but really don't dress him with nothing =) ahahhahaah

And for the rest... He's the most amazing little creature ever seen =)
