Full of Surprises...

[jessdecutie18]

So after just posting on the forum this week about how I've never seen Yoshi just hang upside down, that she is probably still too clumsy for that... yesterday afternoon I come home, rush to open her cage up and give her a cuddle, come into her room and see her just dangling from the very top of her cage, and she stares at me and squawks a couple times before scuttling across the top and side back down to one of her closest perches... It was like she was saying "See Mommy, I CAN do it, I'm not too clumsy!" Then as I reach in and she steps up she falls off and hits the ground... jumping right back up and looking expectantly at me to pick her up... like it never happened and she isn't clumsy at all I gave her some sunflower seeds for the effort

 

Also, while Yoshi usually plays on her playstand totally happy while my husband and I eat and watch TV, she made a leap of faith onto the edge of the couch, fell in between a pillow face down, and then scuttled back out and ran up into my lap... all that effort for some scratches and cuddling... and some of my broccoli and cheese too! She hasn't been that much into cuddling with me lately so it was a nice change!

 

She surprises me sometimes... I love her so much We went out yesterday and bought two more long intricate wooden perches so we can put stuff higher up in her cage now, I think she is ready Also found her a small swing and another destructable toy... can't help but get things for our baby This weekend I'll be rearranging her huge cage and I'm actually pretty excited Also soon we shall be getting new furnature for the room (new desks) and I'm glad because I want to keep her used to change, as I'm in the military and might move with her or have someone else take care of her if I'm gone a couple weeks doing training or something.

 

Sorry for rambling... but I can't help but talk about Yoshi She has 'I wanna kiss' down as far as training, and does it almost every time you ask her to now. Still no words, but time will tell

They certainly are full of surprises almost everyday at that age. Yoshi is very brave and learning her limits as she tries and succeeds, then tries and fails.

 

They do love the praise. I swear you can almost see them smile. :-)

 

Thanks for sharing all this about Yoshi!!

awe! How sweet! It's so funny what they do

How sweet, and she will get more acrobatic with time. Mine is more of a monkey the way he hangs upside down by one leg and swings and sings ...unbelievably cute

If she is saying "I wanna kiss" already then more is sure to come, you just wait, it will pour out soon, just be careful of what you say if you don't want it repeated.

 

Some of the member's greys are very acrobatic but most do love to hang upside down to play, Josey does especially when she wants to bang that bell of hers.

Sorry for the confusion, she doesn't say "I wanna kiss," I say that, she just has the kissing down, not the words

Yoshi is turning into a very impish little lady. Thanks for the update.

What can I say, I had a senior moment.:blush:

 

Time will tell whether she talks or not but the update was great even if she doesn't talk yet, thanks for sharing it with us.
