Friday I got up and did my routine, Venus didn't want to do our routine but Buddy wanted to do our routine. The routine, make coffee, make chop, feed the dogs, let the dogs out, feed the birds and shower. Well Buddy didn't want to get off me and I was on a schedule so in the shower we went. I put him on the shower perch and OH BOY!!!!! IT'S SHOWER TIME!!!! The perch sits close to where the water falls but he can move on the perch so he's not getting wet if he doesn't want to. I never have to worry about Buddy not wanting to be wet. Buddy is loud in the shower too making all sounds possible, me I do respond but then a fight started because Buddy was hogging the water, not kidding.
I'm trying to rinse, and he's head level with me when I suddenly got smacked in the face with a wing, then I have a pinned bird face in my face wolf whistling. I could feel his hot breath on my face. Then he stepped on my shoulder and wouldn't get back on his perch. It is not easy to shower with a bird on your shoulder who insists the water is all his, screaming happy sounds in your ear, fluffing up, spreading his tail and getting beaten with spread wings. At one point I put my right arm up, he's on my right shoulder and he bit me so I start fussing at him in my bird voice, he's screaming back. When we were done, Husband is laying on the bed cracking up, he said it sounded like a serious battle in the tub, lol! It was, Buddy loves showers and has to be in the middle of the shower event, lol!
