Happy Thanksgiving

I had a nice time at the funny farm in VA. Sophie the puppy continues to respect me. I did not look too much at the turkey, me dio miedo! But I enjoyed seeing the whole darn family. The little brother has taken quite an interest in me. I don't quite trust his fingers but I sure do love riding around on his big shoulders, I feel so tall!

I ate tomatoes and clementines and I tried some mashed potatoes! :) I am happy now though to be in my mansion where I have a dish to bathe in. I was tired after the long trip in the car. Besos!

Bird-date, uptweetl

Just updating my loyal readers. I am doing well. Winter is coming, but I am not freezing thanks to my fluffy white feathers growing under my shiny grey coat.

I've been eating my cream of tweet, purchased when my human was guilty since she took me again to get my nails drummeled at the nice pet shop. This time there was a loud cockatoo, it scared my Spanish human.

I've been chewing on my straws, my Chinese finger traps and some palm leaves woven together that my human got me at the pet store!

Hello to Nani, the funny caique!

Update with the pup from South Charlotte

My theme song should be: "Lord I was born a traveling bird..." (thank you Allman Bros). I am updating from my human's friends' home in the Dilworth area. They apparently had to take me here because my apartment carpet is being cleaned (I'll believe it when I see it). At this house, there are two humans, a boy and a girl, they talked to me for a bit. But there is also a little fluffy dog who barks at me for no reason. I chirped back at her and she woofed again! Strange! I think she wants to play but my kind don't play with her kind. It would be unfair. My human did visit me but she also seemed to like this fluffball and they even went on a walk together... while I had to stay inside. Such is life. For now I will try to sit tight until I can return to my home in the Timbers. :) Pio chirping off for now...

I have been a busy busy birdy! I went to Bird Zone, a lovely pet store in Pineville, NC. There, a nice woman named Pam trimmed and filed my toenails and clipped my two longer flight feathers. It was hot and sweaty under that cloth when she used a special machine to drummel my nails. My human was more ruffled than I was. I also got some Island Treat Bird Food mix. Such a high quality mix of seeds, dried fruit and some sunflower seeds!! I love it!! My human and I then got back into the hot car, and went to another bird store, but they wouldn't let us in! It is a bird shop and adoption agency so they have strict health rules. The lady said I should get to the avian vet and have blood tests! EEEk. I think I am pretty healthy and if I were sick, my human would take me ASAP the the vet.

My human told me she went to an Exotic Bird Fair at the Metrolina Center in North Charlotte. At first I didn't believe her but then she brought me two great toys! one is filled with colored straws and small playing cards. I am chewing those up! the other toy is a lovely block with many rawhide knots. MMMMM!!

tweet you all later! I am chirping to myself while I rest atop my cage.

Photo shoot

This summer I had a photo shoot in Lovettsville, where my human's parents live. Apparently the father is a semi professional photographer.  I was a little nervous being outside but in the end I felt so pretty when I saw the final shots.  

                   

        

betrayal with a mini dog

My humans  left me last night to take care of Kadi the cockapoo! Traitors! They fed me but I was too nervous to eat. The newest addition to my birdie dish is babyfood, it is alright, kind of wet.  Now my humans are hanging out on their couch, in the usual position.  Ahhhh the good life.  Chirp you later.  

Molting again!

I am molting yet again, I thought it was over.  My human looks worried but I seem fine, just a bit itchier, more urges to preen.  Life is returning to normal at Magnolia Hill Drive.  My Spanish human has been taking good care of me while my human goes to her morning job.  

Feathers are falling all around my cage! Tons of them!

I have been eating my green beans and this lovely barley/bean mix that my human lovingly cooks up for me.  And I am enjoying my baths, I did not take too many when I was living in my travel cage because the bowl was too small!
