Part III Crickets Journey, Our bond grows.

[Ray P]

As I look back on this journey I found out something I did not know untill now. Cricket was always three steps ahead of me. All this time I thought I was in charge. As I look back on this journey I find out that she was.

As I sat by her cage and talked to her it was Cricket that came over to me and put her head down for a scratch and I did not scratch her head at first because I still had a fear of zons, but after 3 or 4 times I gave her a head scratch and I felt so proud that I got her to come over, but she made the first move not me. When she would put her beak through the bars of the cage over and over untill I scratch it with my finger nail, well she made the first move again.

The day I had Cricket out and walked away from her cage to do something and she flue after me and landed on the floor and I bent over to pick her up expecting the bite of my life and said step up and she did and than steped up again to my other hand. I think it was in her plan all along.

The step up to my hand on that day, That was the day I lost my fear of zons and Cricket.

Our bond has grown every day from that day on and the one thing I will never do is take that bond for granted.

Every day we have our special time together with just the two of us so we can enjoy each other.

 

Next Cricket has never bittin me, but she has drawn blood.

Find out how, Next
