Summer!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...It's summer and the small humans are home. One of them made an adorable comment the other day. He said "Chico, no bite! Me pet you! Me love Chico!" haha..Moi? Not bite? Are you kidding? But it's summer, and my owner occasionally takes me outside. This gives me the opportunity to report to the bird government. Speaking of which, my owner was joking about that with a friend earlier... They were laughing... I'm so glad they thought it was a joke... Otherwise, well, that would be a disaster.

Christmas, New Years and a stupid piano.

Well, the holiday season is almost over (so I'm told) and it's been a fairly good one (despite there never being a moment when I could post...)
To sum it up:
Christmas was a blast, and I even got some new treats, and a new cuttle bone.
New Years was fun too, and Misty was out of my hair (feathers???) for a bit, so I could actually rest!
As to why I am calling a perfectly decent musical instrument stupid:
I FIND IT TO BE AN ATTENTION-STEALER!!!!! My owner WON'T scratch my head if she's playing IT. On the bright side, there are tiny bits of red fuzzy keypads that are fun to pick at...

Well, gotta go

Thanksgiving!

My owners went out of town for thanksgiving, so I couldn't get on then, but I'll settle for now.
First thing's first: Happy Thanksgiving! Oh, and happy Black Friday! (Hoping my owner got me a few toys...)
Second: I've been making a list of things I'm thankful for:

1. My Family. Yes, even that pesky gray thing which seems to be good only for barking and hiding under beds (also known as Misty).
2. My Cage. Despite the fact that it sometimes seems small to me, I'm glad I have a warm home, unlike the birds outside ( To the annoying cardinal in our pine tree: Nyah, nyah, I have a warm cage)
3. Carrots, the delicious seed mix, and strawberries. Seeds-DELISH, strawberries-AMAZING for flinging at windows, and carrots, well, nuff' said.
4. My bouncy perch- a gift from my owner, and quite possibly the best place to sit and reflect
5. A loving owner. Despite how busy she is, I know she loves me, as stubborn and unlovable as I try to be.

Third: A thank you to my wonderful readers, for taking the time to read about me and my life.

Fourth: So thankful I survived... my owner's father was threatening to roast me for thanksgiving...actually, I think he was joking...

Fifth... Yzzy, please, please if you DO end up taking over the world, make parrotlets the national bird. Thank you.

More Adventures

I have discovered new treats that I love.

1. Animal Crackers: I first discovered these while sitting with my lunch-eating flock. I reached out to take a bite and took a nom.
2. CHEESE: hunks of ABSOLUTE DELICIOUSNESS!!! Again, a lunch with my flock.

Other noteworthy bits and pieces:

1. I now have a profile on BirdChannel.com, just search the profiles for a male Pacific Parrotlet.
2. I HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE! Ok, so it was in my flight suit, but it was fun (ish.)
3. I am MOLTING!!!!!! For you non-bird lovers, birds go through a molt at 6-7 months old. This is rather like the teenage age too...
