I moved Blue’s cage by a window to get him some natural light. I’m just thinking of his health. Instead I created a neighborhood Karen. He refuses to go back in his cage because he wants to sit on the very top of his cage (where I can’t get to him) to watch the neighborhood, and scream at everything that moves. If I close the curtains he just pulls them back, or breaks the blinds with his beak. Why? Just why? Out of everything a parrot can do why this?!? 😂😂😂

He will not be denied his right to comment on everything your neighbors do! 😂
 
My daughter created a CAG-zilla in just the 3.5 days I was in hospital having tests. I came home today. I ask if she has been giving pistachios as a treat. She starts another conversation. Screech type 1 ...daughter brings plain pistachios. She made a mistake and brought the rare habanero roasted pistachios and screech morphed into type two. My daughter's idea of chop (Nameliss's perfect meal); white rice, cheese, and a the least amount of green, yellow or red items that you can see. My daughter mixes a big bowl of breakfast rice with cheese, egg and a meat on the side. I told her to hide her food. But nope. Nameliss, saw and wanted. My daughter has been told by me too many times to count about Nameliss and her tendency for low weight. So she fed Nameliss what Nameliss wanted. It was a good thing that there is nothing wrong with my heart! In barely 4 days, Nameliss had trained my daughter to give her pistachios on demand, rice with cheese, toast with butter, crescent rolls with butter and cherry turnovers for breakfast. It was a was a good thing I was only gone three mornings. I would have come back to a diabetic, morbidly obese, coronary artery diseased, waddler instead of my sweet slightly under weight but healthy CAG. Naturally, my daughter's name was priority on the feathered manipulator's beak. The worst was Nameliss was allowed to watch unsupervised YouTube. My daughter only has a vague idea of what was on it. I ask, cartoons, variety shows is the replies. AS I SAID WE LIVE. BIRDS LEARN.

I hope you feel better, and that everything is okay. Nameliss is funny, and probably had no problems with having a buffet of everything she wants to eat.
 
I gave Nameliss her chop. Her favorite (formerly) and it was on the cage bottom in 15 seconds. She ate pellets. The look she gave me with each nibble was hysterical. If I hadn't known better I'd thought it was gravel. She kept calling my daughter. My daughter told her she was officially off call. I am fine. Evidently migraines like everything else can get better or  worse with age. Were you aware that some symptoms of sinusitis are actually migraine symptoms? The severity is added to the migraine. Being non sinus it is not responsive to antihistamines, decongestants, nasal spray; steroid, decongestant or saline and any whatevers. Most have ingredients which intensify migraine and with long term use cause health problems. Fortunately I have a tiny bit of common sense that kicked in (after all of the above). Because I dealt with this for decades; biofeedback #2; parrot therapy #1, I am now on two meds for migraines. Age meant they had to do a complete work up. Annoying.
