Cleo has FOUND HER SPOT!!! Important nite...

December 16th, 2007

WOW...tonite was yet another momentous nite. I can't describe how HUGE tonite was. Going on a hint from Kimba, instead of putting Cleo HIGH in the air, I dropped my arm down by my torso. And listen parrot people, something sort of "magical" happened. She just tucked her head sort of to my chest and it was if that was where she was supposed to be. She stayed there, we walked around the house about 15 minutes with her in the same spot. Same spot. She was at peace and it was just very very very strange. I had always held her up HIGH cause that's what I was told, but it's like I said earlier today, just like people, birds are different bird to bird. She apparantly is much happier feeling a lil more protected next to me.In my mind, before she was abused, this probably was where she sat as a baby bird and felt comfortable.She just was sort of like a baby there. Garsh, stop waxing so sentimental Mark. But maybe, that's why she was called Baby?Dont get me wrong, she doesn't ask to stepup, and still she grumbles. but tonite gave a new place AFTER she steps up and maybe a sense of trust for her. She even rode calmly there to "go home" tonite. Usually, she fights a lil if I try to manually put her up at nite, but she just calmly rode in on my arm and stepped off..like she had done it a million times.It was nice. very nice. Thanks Kimba!But anyway, here she is, my Cleo in a happy spot..at long long last.Mark
