Snuggle times are do much fun. It's calming for both.

Sunday is the official Snuggle With your Bird Day!

Nameliss objects. She wants snuggle time with lots of head scritches daily!

Yesterday Juliette was all squirrely so I took her in the bedroom which is safe for her to fly around in, but what she really wanted to do was complete her hour long beauty routine while sitting on me. I never realized how noisy preening can be when it's done at close range. She's definitely on her way to becoming a velcro bird. I am hoping once she is recall trained she will be able to safely fly free in the main house, but right now we are packing and organizing and I'm afraid she might get lost in a box or under a shelf etc. Also there are a few poisonous plants here which she can't go near, as she eats any kind of leafy green without hesitation. Thankfully the weather has been beautiful and she was able to get a good amount of outside time on the deck. I wheel her cage around to whatever room I'm in, and she enjoys a lengthy breakfast in the bedroom on top of her cage.

You can't have any houseplants in the room where she lives. So many are toxic. You read about the member who lost both of her linnies hours after eating a houseplant!

I'm not sure if I am happy or not because Nameliss prefers to walking and climbing. It's not uncommon in a CAG.

Linnies often prefer walking but so far Juliette has flown more. She really gets up some speed in the bedroom. She started recall training this morning as she now knows the basics of target training!

I never had to really worry about it with Ollie but I don't trust this birdie for even a second. She could fly up there and start eating before I get across the room. We are moving soon though so things will hopefully get rearranged in a safer way at the new house.

Juliette has a new game!

Juliette has a new game!

She’s SO cute.

 

[GivemeSeedsorgivemeFlesh]

I know!! I can't believe how lucky I am to have her. Right now she's snuggled under my chin preening and she just had her first pistachio.

 

[LaManuka]

Well after a big game of "toss the bagel" I'm not surprised she wants a snuggle. Please give her extra snuggles from me!!

So cute! Oooh I love the idea of the bagels on the perch. I’m going to try that!

 

[DonnaBudgie]

That's looks like a fun game!

 

[rheashard2]

Those foot bagels are so much fun for birdies. She looks like she's having great fun.

 

[GivemeSeedsorgivemeFlesh]

She probably went on for at least ten minutes with her indentured servant picking up the bagels and putting them back for her to knock down again.

She got about four hours of snuggles tonight, watched a movie, ate popcorn and had a nibble of cheese. The only problem is that she was having so much fun that she didn't want to go to bed.

Oh bedtime is the WORST!! Lovejoy gets about an hour and a half to two hours of snuggles every night, and the LOOK he gives me when I have to put him to bed is BRUTAL!!
