Good morning everyone, Michael and Cash,
It poured in rain overnight & this morning but now the sun is out thankfully as I think son in law & grandsons are going canoeing later.
Hope you all have a decent day.

Still fairly early in the morning here, but I've been awake for several hours already due to a little girl who thinks she really has to be up at the crack of dawn coming to jump on me the moment she woke up, and pestering for everything she could think of, seemingly without pausing for breath, till I reluctantly got up. She's exactly two-and-a-half today - I can't believe how big she's got, nor how quickly the time has flown!

Had some coffee in the hope thats it would wake me up a bit, but it didn't do much except make me feel hot (maybe I am just that tired, or maybe the weather is heating up rapidly right now). Said little girl is now glued to my lap wanting to watch children's videos on the internet, which is something her naughty mother has taught her to like by letting her watch lots of them with her, so now she expects them every day, whenever she wants them.

She was quite impressed with the picture of Cash though, and pointed at it while shouting "Birdie, birdie!" excitedly when she saw it. I asked if he was a papagaio (parrot). "Yes! Papagaio!" she told me firmly. Then I asked if he could talk, and what he said. She looked like she was thinking for a few moments, then unleashed an ear-piercing shriek: "EeeeaaaaaAAAARGH!". That actually sounded like it might be just the kind of noise a grey would make. It seems she knows parrots pretty well already! :emoji_laughing:

Hi. Has he picked up more courage to be more out of cage?

 

[Michael Reynolds]

its been quite a good day with lots of noises going on but I did have to stop the party as Mo decided to start laying, so I had to just keep an eye on her, Cash has been out all day while I have been here so I think he enjoyed himself although he did land on Max and Mo's cage and Max was not happy about that and soon persuaded Cash to move off, I can see what you mean about being a clumsy flyer. or should I say lander, he followed me in the kitchen and his landing was just like a plane toppling forwards on to its propeller. he was ok but the look on his face was as if he was blaming me. I think he has had a long and exciting day he is on his cage at the moment but I will be putting him to bed shortly, oh well its his birthday so I always let them stay up longer. well Mo is fine and I will have to sort out a nest box again for her as I think she will lay the next one in a few days

It has been said that Cash ought to have been called Crash.
I wonder why he can't fine fly. We encourage him and really praise him when he gets it right. He celebrates it too.
When we got him, he was clipped so may be he was never let learn to fly before clipping.

well he sometimes lands ok but I think he has not mastered how to use his flaps to a slow approach

Poor soul. May be he will learn it one day.

He likes watching TV. Might look at planes but we feel ladies caught his eyes more.
Tends to spot the nice ones and says wow. No idea where he picked that.
