Great Video, Dayo loves it too

Awww - I love him. The XBox controller was a favorite in my house too until I gave it to her. Now it sits untouched on her play table.

I saw this too and thought it would be a little scarey to have a bird on a boat like that - Dayo falls all the time and boats a slippery - wouldn't there be a greay risk of parrot overboard? Wouldn't they drown if they fell in the water?

What a sweetey

This is so so cute... look at him go - two at a time! My Melly would be so pleased - Dayo never doles out treats with such enthusiasm.

LOL murfchck, That is totally what Dayo would do. kins2321, how do you get them to behave?

Wow - they are all so well behaved. Loved watching, thanks!

Thank you for a lovely post. Yes, indeed... Health and happiness to all in 2015 and beyond!!

No, it did not. But she was kind enough to share when I got tired of watching her eat.

Dayo shows us a good way to start the New Year... Happy 2015! [video=youtube_share;6-jByiCTZ2o]

Then I can eat in peace...

Awww - Sophie's lucky she has you to make sure she gets cleaned - just goes to show how unique each individual is.

Dayo will do that sometimes... it's her call

No, I don't think she is capable of guilt. In her world if she can reach it, it's fair game. And she's a flyer so I juts make sure the real garbage is safely in the cabinet under the sink - this is only the paper garbage so no harm no fowl ha ha... "no harm, no fowl" - that's another post!

She blames it on the dog but me thinks maybe miss Dayo has been plucking things out of the trash when I'm not home...

Too funny Ray - Sometimes when I tap my finger in the big bowl she'll do a "run through" but runs right back to the bowl she can't fit in. I still do bring her in the shower but just to get her started, she then goes right to her bowl to have some real water fun. I have also used the "Aloe Vera" spray to mist her while she's trying to fit herself into her bowl - that way at least her back and wings get wet too. Oh and she makes the cutest sounds when taking a bath - you can't hear them in this video though.

Here's Miss Dayo Taking a bath in her water bowl.... she prefers this to the shower [video=youtube_share;Y7Fn1bjrc6g]

Dayo - 3 year CAG

Hi Steve and Misty, Yes! very definitely Dayo is quite similar. She is fine most of the time but gets very possessive about certain things like a glass of anything be it water , juice or whatever. If I forget and leave a glass out in the open where she can see it I usually race to grab the glass before she knocks it over and if we get there about the same time she'll bite. so I have to not just reach out in front of her but sneak around the back so she can't "reach" me. There's a yellow kids plastic plant waterer she's also crazy about - ice trays... the Britta water filter she has lots of favorite things. As long as I move slow and make kissy sounds we're usually good but if I'm rushing to keep something from getting knocked over she'll bite then. Oh and touching her water bowl while she's bathing is a definite no no. She's come so far though since I first got her. She used to not let me even scratch her head. Now mostly in the mornings or when she's happy to see me she flips over on her back completely trusting that my other hand will be there to catch her (So I have to make sure it always is) sometimes she uses my thumb to pull herself up and squeezes a little too hard but all in all I am just so happy that she is happy.

JUst a quick update here - It was a year in Oct. since my surgery and I am still Cancer FREE

Here's what I give Miss Dayo... (See below) I like the glass sprouter - Dayo is more likely to get the plastic sprouter open. The night before, I put a coffee scoop full of seed mix in sprouting jar. cover with cold water and add 5-7 drops of grape seed oil and let sit overnight. In the morning I scoop out a teasoon maybe as much as a tablespoon full and mix in her bowl. I also add Mung Beans to the list as Dayo loves those. The funny thing is, once the stuff sprouts she's not so interested, so I try and use it up in two feedings, morning and night, then refill at night and start again. I usually order some from amazon and get some from the local health food store but I am going to check out the links you guys posted here too.

Where does Felic Post these funnies?

I am so happy for Gracia that you have found each other. Happy to see the cone is off too.

No doubt! Keep up the good work. The rewards are a plenty

JeffNOK, I'm with you... I even had a chat with a racoon one night who was trying to find a way into my chicken coop. I shook my finger at her and scolded her and she just looked at me like "nutty humans". A few years later she came back one night when I forgot to close the sliding chicken door and wiped out half the flock (I only keep 6). I even wrestled one of the hens back from her as she was trying to make her getaway and take it with her. That hen is miraculously fine today. Lesson learned, I will never forget to close that door again, but as for the racoon - I saw her carrying her babies down from a tree (relocating them) a few days after the massacre so she was just trying to feed her family - I can't really hold that against her.
