Azzie Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Cleo and I were having some cuddle time this morning. She loves her head scritches, and she somehow managed to convey to me she wanted it a bit rougher. I ended up firmly rubbing the skin on her head, ears and throat, and even the bare skin around her eyes and nostrils. She loved it! Cleo twisted into all sorts of pretzel shapes so I could get to all the good bits, and after about 15 minutes she became so relaxed and limp she just sort of slithered from my arm onto my chest (eyes still closed) her big feet all curled up into little balls and laid there on her belly. She was flushed pink the whole time, and was making little throaty rr rr sounds, almost like she was purring. We got rid of a lot of dander, and I am feeling rather relaxed myself after this birdie massage. The amount of trust she showed me this morning is heart breaking. She completely gave herself up to me. Cleo and I have been together for about 2 months now, and with each interaction our bond seems to change and strengthen. Each day she still makes me marvel how "just a bird" can be so...I don't know, I lack the words to describe this feeling. All I know is I am feeling elated and floating on a cloud after our cuddle session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joolesgreyuk Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Cuddle times are special times indeed. It's said that pets are good for our health and it would seem to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 That is terrific. I know what you mean about them directing you. Whisper will let me know if I am not doing it right or if I am hitting some pin feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolandFamily Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 OMG I love how my babies are too they are so cuddly and often fight for my attention. When I was typing this Ahjari flew to my shoulder to see what I was doing. Even though they are so different it makes my day just knowing that each day is a different adventure.....

Tycos_mom Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Isn't somthing speical when they put that little head of theirs down for a scritch and never want you to stop they just get all cozy and snuggly and totally enjoy the moment.
