MarcusCAG Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Okay, I've never posted a video here in the forums before, so I hope this works all right... but I just have to share our Marcus with all of you, I just keep thinking of this incident that I recorded earlier today and it keeps making me smile. (Even with me still awake at one in the morning!) For the first time ever, yesterday Marcus stepped up onto the Boing that is hanging in the boys' room. Today I was able to put him up there again, and he seemed very happy about it. Then, I don't know what possessed me to do this, but I started spinning the Boing with Marcus on it--he was acting like it was some fantastic amusement park ride! He kept giggling, and going "Whooo!" and he just was such a darling, so I grabbed the camera and recorded some of the fun. I hope you guys enjoy watching it, too, and hopefully it won't make you dizzy at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawnee Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for sharing! Cosmo loves spinning his boing. He holds onto the top of it and 'flies' to wind it up then climbs down the middle of it while it spins back. Its on a 2.5' piece of chain so he can really wind it up! One of the first things he does when I let him out of the cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara2 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That was definitely cool! (I liked your husband's laughter in the background too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Great video of Marcus. When they find something they like to do it`s a lot of fun to watch them have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusCAG Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 (I liked your husband's laughter in the background too.) Hee-hee, actually, that was Marcus!! He's picked up my giggle and uses it sometimes but when he really is enjoying himself, he generally goes back to the deep male laugh that he learned in one of his former homes.

Shelly Yokum Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I just loved it. Thank you for sharing it. My Val would have flew off in a panic, I can't wait until she gets over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I loved this very entertaining video of Marcus having fun and laughed along with him. He has obviously in the past enjoyed such fun times and you are finding those things he enjoys and it is bringing out the true Marcus underneath. Soon he will feel comfortable enough to just flap those wings and spin/swing that boing to his hearts content. You may even want to say spin or swing, which ever is appropriate at the time. He will soon be saying it as well. I loved his laugh and comments. Thanks for posting this and I hope to see many more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, Dan, I totally didn't even think to say that while he was spinning like that! Haha, thank you for the reminder! And thank you, everyone, for all of your lovely comments!!

Casey Luria Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That was great, love the laughter. Now I am convinced I should hang my boing up from the ceiling and try what you did. Thanks, Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusCAG Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Marcus is beautiful, by the way. Thank you so much, Birdnut, that's really a very sweet thing for you to say. Warmed my heart. And Judygram: you think he's full of himself?? Haha, he might be, I dunno! And everyone else, truly, thank you for your lovely comments and encouragement, I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video too... Marcus has come a long way from when we first adopted him, I think, and now that he's really starting to act "like a bird" as my husband puts it, we're just thrilled!! We just want our 'son' to be happy, and we're so glad to just see these seemingly small things (like his jubilation at being whirled around on the Boing) that indicate he's really kind of happy here with us.
