katana600 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 The last thing I expected was for the two of them to have conversations, but she is eliciting little peeps and murmurs from him already. She has a game she plays with me where she leads with a tune and I match. If I get it wrong, she give me a buzzer sound. Today she must be getting to feel like the rabbit and tar baby. When she regales Juno with her repertoire and he doesn't answer her, she is giving him the buzzer. This is all just keeping me laughing. Laughter is the best part of life.

Luvparrots Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 That would be so cute and funny to watch and see. Thanks for the giggles this AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Finding this forum is the best thing we did for Java. While we were a grey-in-waiting, the videos made me laugh while she sat on my shoulder and learned that talking was a good thing. Now, she has a little playmate and he shares all his good stuff with her and she couldn't be more pleased. I was really afraid it would be hard on her to get a second bird and it has been the best thing ever for her so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Awwww, it's wonderful to hear that Java is pleased and so involved! :-) I can't wait to see the first photos and videos rolled out of them interacting. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittykittykitty Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 It has bbeen so rewarding to hear all the exciting things about Java and Juno. Thank you!!:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks for the encouragement. We got Juno's bloodwork back today and the vet says all is well, so I thought I would wait until dark, let them both out at the same time. My thinking was that if they went berserk, I could turn out the light to isolate and remove one. Java was a little red-eyed demon, no more sweet nothings. She went right after Juno on his tree and offered to bite him. He suggested he could bite her little head off and I had to pick her up in a fleece square and escort her back to her cage. Then, they make all sorts of sweet sounds to each other. It will take some time and a lot of vigilance and patience if they can ever come out of their cages at the same time.

A rocky start perhaps, but freindships built on rocky foundations often last the longest! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thank goodness they didn't get any closer. Now we are back to a strict quarantine after a second run of cultures revealed some nasty stuff for Juno. We are going to keep them in separate rooms and keep the hand washing to an extreme before interacting with either of them. Since Java likes my room she can hang out in here while I am on the computer and Juno can be at the other end of the house since I will have to get him out twice a day for meds. Java is whistling sweet nothings to Juno and keeping him entertained even when they can't see each other. To top it off, I drove up to the university again to get my daughter to a doctor. Either she has the worst sprain Dr. S has ever seen, or she has popped off a tendon. We are going tonight at seven for an MRI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 It never rains but it pours! At least Java is calling to Juno while he isn't' with you, so he doesn't feel too alone! Hope your daughter isn't in too much pain - tendons can be sore and take ages to heal! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 My word what a time for you Dee. I hope your daughter's problem can be taken care of without too much discomfort for her. Fingers crossed. As for your fids, they will probably be the best of friends once the forced isolation is over. Hope all is better soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Java is free and taking over the house again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 I thought Java was reminding me of the words on the wall at the entrance to our home. It is hard to read on the picture, but says "May our home know joy, each room hold laughter, every window open to great possibilities" I walk past this every day and forget to see it sometimes, it is appropriate at this time. We do have joy and laughter and great possibilities, today and every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 and in the bathroom... Laughter sparkles like a drop of water in sunlight. My love and laughter to all of you for a special holiday with your families and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 What a kind and thoughtful lady you really are Dee, to be wishing all of us well at this time. I think Java was bringing your attention to the little things - namely her! The words on the wall are lovely and I'm so gald you are able to be positive. Let Java be your silver lining! She's a little smasher! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 You'll have to watch Java Dee - she'll be back in that lampshade in no time, now that's she's got the free run again! I love those "sayings" that you have around your house. They are indeed very special reminders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Dee, you will have to share some more pictures of Java, please.:whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Thanks for thinking of my little friend. She has been wildly enjoying her freedom. She has a new job too. Our three dogs like to lay on the back of the new sofa in the sunshine, like cats. One at a time wouldn't be an issue, but three together on the same cushion are going to break it down. So, once I chased them off, now Java flies over and chases them down for me. She is gleeful with her swooping and loves the result. She had been repeating all of Juno's whoops and chortles but when I came home without him she has never made another of his sounds although she still makes sounds of the cockatiel we fostered three years ago. She is such a joy and comfort in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 It's so good to hear Java is enjoying her freedom again and bringing comfort to you Dee. It's uncanny tho that she has not made any more Juno sounds. Animals amaze me! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
