Elvenking Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Well, it's my babys first hatchday and he is now one year old. It certainly has been an adventure since I got him. He fills me with tons of joy with all his cuddling, noises and funny behaviors. I could have never guessed how much a aprt of my life Issac would become. He is a gigantinc part now. When he flew away a few months ago, I got a taste of what it would be like to come home to a house without him, and it was not a good feeling at all. I missed him in every moment. His latest noises are the "bomb-dropping and splat" sound, the sound of me swallowing, coughing, barking like the neighbors dog, and attempts at saying 'hello'. He actually said it understandably twice this morning. I, of course, am his biggest cheerleader and give him loads of praise at every attempt. I can no longer make phone calls in his presence most of the time because he gets jealous and tries to take the phone away. He will sometimes start panting like a horny bird. Too funny. Sometimes people call and as soon as I pick up my cell phone, Issac gives chase. So they hear me running loops around the kitchen and then ducking into the bathroom asking me, "What is going on over there?" These birds definitely have moods. Issac can be the ultimate cuddly and sweet little thing. Offering up kisses, scratches and lower beak rubs. I simply love it when he rubs his head up against my cheek. Othertimes he wants me to pay attnetion to him and he lets me know by doing a fly-by ear tweak. Land for one split second, tweak my ear with his beak and fly off. Sometimes, I try to catch him and give him a quick time out. But the chase alone must be fun for him. There's me chasing him from perch to perch. I just have to give up after a few minutes. Smart Alec. Here are some pictures of my baby: He is a friend like no other and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I love him forever. Sometimes I cup my hands around his body gently and kiss his back. I mean...look at that picture...you have to kiss him! Anyway, I just wanted to let all know that Issac was having a nice hatchday and celebrating by munching on some palm nuts. Happy Birthday, Issac!!

Thanks for sharing this write up and photos. Yeah...after six months he stopped the rapid changing so monthly updates were more appropriate. Today...he is saying "Oooooowwwww...oooowwww" Like 'ouch'. As in when his nails scratch me when he wants to do acrobatics from my arm. It's what I say to try to dramatize the event and he picked it up. It's super cute. His attempts at talking are really picking up...it makes me hopeful that he will be saying things soon. Love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that avatar photo....hits me where it counts every time I look at it. I do not think I will ever change it. Because in the moment he was sleeping on me like that....I was just the happiest guy in the world. I felt very trusted. It's a magnificent feeling. I just have a real love for birds. I always notice them when others would never. Issac is my number one bird, and I sure want to make him know it. Thanks for reading about my baby.

Elvenking Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 He let my daughter scratch his neck today. It was so cute...i rubbed his bottom beak area and let him know that it would be alright...and my daughter was brave enough to scruff his neck feathers and was gentle about it. She loved how soft he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
