Kizzy is 8 months old! He is such a sweet bird. I am prepared for the independence stage which will be coming shortly. I am fortunate to still have him in his "i love mom" stage. Every night, around 8:30 pm, he is ready for shoulder time, scritches and kisses. If I am doing other things (such things are: cleaning cage, preparing his foraging toys for the next morning, cleaning bird poop!), he lands on my head and hangs from my hair and then hops on my shoulder.
I bought and assembled a 5 foot tree for him. It was pain to put together! Kizzy had to watch the entire time, excited as could be. He knew it was a toy for him! But it took away from "mom time." At 8:30 , he grabbed the screwdriver, and flew away with it, and tried to hide it from me. Ha!
