Nice Lovejoy!I FINALLY caught Lovejoy saying "bouncy bouncy bouncy" on video!! He learned to say it cos he LOVES it when i bounce him up and down on my hand when he steps up. Still very hard to actually record him when he does talk though, cos as you can see he rapidly loses interest when the camera is on him
Awwwwwwwwwww, Lovejoy says to say "Thank You, Aunty Rozzy", and "witam" to all his favourite Polish cousins - amazing how he's learned to used Google Translate too, isn't it?!
Ooo la la! Look at that red head! He’s so pretty!Went out to grab some groceries this morning and came home to birdie bath water splashed everywhere and THIS!

Still fairly keen to save his biggest splashes for when I’m not here - seems to enjoy his privacy at bath time
Right??? It positively glows, like it's lit from within, 'specially when he gets in a sunny spot. It's not just red, it's RRRRRRRREDDDDDDDD!!!!!Ooo la la! Look at that red head! He’s so pretty!
It sure looks like it!Right??? It positively glows, like it's lit from within, 'specially when he gets in a sunny spot. It's not just red, it's RRREDDDDDDDD!!!!!
Honestly I don't know if he actually eats that much of it. I pop it in his dry food dish along with kitty litter, believe it or not. The kitty litter thing was recommended by his vet, the idea being that he then has to fossick through it in order to find the dry nectar powder that's mixed in so he doesn't just gulp it down and over-eat, and I added the flower mix for a bit more variety for him. I think he does eat some of it though cos he smells so sweet whenever I do give it to him
And it looks nicer too 
What kind of kitty litter is it? Seems like a good idea for a foraging tray!Honestly I don't know if he actually eats that much of it.

It's made from recycled paper with no additives, according to the manufacturer. I actually buy it from my bird vet because he's the only one I can find who sells it in the small sized packages that I prefer to buy. He stocks it specifically for the purpose of usage in foraging trays - I figure if he sells it it must be the safest one to use!
We had lost our CAV three years ago and our nearest like school Avian Vet is on the East Side of our State near 300 miles and heavy traffic away.Oh I quite agree with you, @SailBoat, my guy is the best and I love him to bits!But he tells me he'll be retiring in the next couple of years or so - I seriously do not know what I'm going to do without him!
