Going to try one of those mega threads for chronicling all of Kiwi's outings this year instead of posting individual threads. We'll see how it goes
Yesterday was the first real warm and sunny day this year I've been able to take he who is mostly green out. He was pumped when I brought out the pak-o-bird over the weekend for steam cleaning. Immediately upon being placed in the car, he went through his full range of happy noises and as soon as we hit the freeway, he was making his high pitched "weeeeet" noises and spinning circles (I couldn't pay too much attentions as I was driving but I caught a glimpse and certainly heard it!). Kiwi is pretty funny in the car. He likes to go fast and has a very strong opinion when stuck in traffic, stopped at a rail crossing or long red light etc... It's rather amusing to drive with him
We ran a few errands then went to the Bird Hut to say hello to the other birdies and get some goodies. It was really LOUD in there, which Kiwi was none too pleased with. He's a quiet bird and is used to a quiet home. He was a bit rattled at the volume of 20-30 shouting parrots (I was a bit rattled by the racket as well! Made me REALLY appreciate how quiet Kiwi is comparatively). For some reason, they have a lot of large macaws right now and I never realized how loud CAGs can go either because there was one in there keeping pace with the Big Macs in jungle call volume! I know, it was rude to do right in front of him, but they have this darling elderly YNA who is not for sale, but she does have a sign by her cage saying she likes scritchies. I think she would have had me there all afternoon rubbing her little head. So sweet! The other one who's extremely loud voice got me was an alexandrine parrot, who I can only presume was jealous I was scritiching the YNA, but his sign did not say he liked to be petted. I rather like having all my fingers more than petting strange birds and those big alexandrines have sizable beaks They also had a big DYH who was quite interested in me and an all around gorgeous bird (NO I am not considering purchasing him) and several blue fronts and yellow napes for sale as well. While Kiwi did not come home with a new friend, he did come home witch several new toys, some cuttle bones and a whole bunch of those Chinese finger traps he likes to rip up.
After we got home, something was out like a light for the rest of the afternoon until hubby got off work. Never a bad thing to wear em out and have a few hours of peace and not being doomed by a certain
More tales of Kiwi's outings to follow!
