Tango (our newest 8 year old rescue Cockatoo) loves to go for a ride in the car. She gets SO excited when we tell her we are going "bye-bye". She will say "bye-bye" in her sweet little voice until we get her in the car. Then she won't shut up LOL...The only problem is, even if the journey is only 5 miles long, she will get car-sick and up-chucks on the way out and on the way back. It doesn't stop her though from loving to go out on car rides...:woohoo:
A little history: before Tango had fledged, the breeder had clipped her wings and for the last 6 of her 8 years, she was cage-bound. Her previous owners were afraid of her. They took excellent care of her though...
the reason they gave her to us was they knew she needed human contact. We are in the process of teaching her how to fly and hopefully she will be able to when her wings. She loves to be held and scritched now and on the first day we got her, Jay had her out on his arm. Her newest trick is to call for Jay when she is in her cage for the night. She then sticks out her foot and extends her talons. When Jay gets up to the cage, she grabs and holds his finger while he pets her with his other hand and she tells him "nite-nite". (Too cute lol)
