These birds….I had a tough night, my COPD kept me coughing and restless so I went out to the living room sofa to sit…and catch my breath…. Morning came, uncovered Debbie, waited for her “can I come out, did ya poop” ( a morning ritual), opened her cage door. I went to sit down and heard her flapping wings, raised my arm in time for her to land and start demanding kisses! Over and over she wanted kisses! Probably reading more into it than is real but almost seemed like she knew I needed a little extra love or she was concerned about my coughing. I think they do indeed understand more than we realize, feel more and react accordingly at times.

I'm glad Debbie has settled in well and is enjoying herself! Ah it can be so easy to upset them sometimes 😂 I made the mistake of trying to clean my kitchen countertop when Alfie was on the window sill. I have a spray bottle and I grabbed that and went to spray it and he just launched himself at it in anger. He's not a fan of having baths or being misted so I think he took exception to me spraying the worktop... maybe he thought he was next? 😂 I realised my mistake as soon as it happened and put the spray bottle away until he had gone to play somewhere else!
