Nike a Hawk Head Parrot (Deroptyus accipitrinus)
This has been a busy winter for me, away from home about 3 weeks a month, five to six days a week. At least I get to see her on weekends.

Since Nike seems to be bonded equally well between my wife and I she doesn't suffer while I'm gone but my wife has to bear the brunt of her neediness.

When I get home she is on my shoulder constantly and there's nothing more relaxing than her beak grinding.

I'm actually planning on being home next week so that will be a nice change...cant wait for that.

I do need to get her clipped for the spring but there are still a few feathers that I'd like to grow in before I do that but we'll see....my wife is beginning to complain more and more. She needs to get work done but I'm perfectly content to sit around on my weekends home with Nike on my shoulder.

I usually stop working in April for the summer but may extend that a little as there is a bunch still needing to get done, we'll see.

Did I say I'm miss Nike? There's really no other point to this thread.
 
Have you tried Skype/FaceTime with Nike?
 
Yeah, great idea! I'd love to see the results of that. It might be a real boon for both of you. And your wife will make three!
 
Awesome to see you doing your part! It is so important to share the duties of housework!
If your task is to amuse Nike, so be it!

Cannot agree more with Scott! Keeping in contact 'visually' will also let Nike know that you are okay and may provide your Mrs's with a bit less time that Nike needs for reassurance...

I can't imagine the ribbing I would get from my wife if I asked her to Facetime with Nike ;)
