Have bird...will travel.

December 27th, 2007
Yesterday was different: I got in from work, Cleo was screaming to get out of her cage. I got her out on her stick, transferred to my hand, easily took her to the bedroom while I changed clothes. I sat her on the bed, talked about my day, gave her a toy or two. She is still a lil intimidated on the bed. But, we played a bit with a Kleenex. She easily stepped up on my hand to go to the office. In the office, she stepped off onto a small perch on top of my desk, played with some seashells, made a big mess really. I checked email, surfed news, etc. Got her to easily step back up and go to the living room while we watched a movie, and played a little with her on her tree stand. Then,later in the evening, I "pretty" easily, got her to step back up and take to her cage and easily put her back in for the nite, with a grape to follow. Dunno, it's just a nice evening without any bloodshed or bad nips. And I think travelling around the house with me now, closer to my body, has installed some trust she didn't have before. It was really nice having a bird that enjoyed being with me and moving around and enjoying HERSELF as we went. Lonnng road to get there.
