Thanks for the update on Cricket. She certainly does sound like a shoulder ornament. As you know my BF zon is a 5-year-old male. They certainly are different from females, sounds like. Louie is very observant and tries very hard to do as I ask of him. He is a re-home also who belonged to the husband and was banished by the females of the household when the husband became ill. Louie is still trying to trust me. I love his gorgeous eyes as they are a soft brown and very active. I can't touch Louie, but he can touch me and loves to preen my hair. He is the favorite of all the family and friends. Go figure the parrot no one can touch is the most loved. People!
Would love to see some pictures of Cricket, she sounds like "Ray's girl".
