Bumble has evolved cuteness as a defensive weapon.

Hey Inger,

I found an image of you and Bumble on the inter web! This is such a great picture of the two of you. I love how he adorns your hair so elegantly. Just amazing!

I don’t think she cares LOL

And actually that hair looks like my sister...I wonder if Bum is sneaking off to visit her when I’m out? [emoji23][emoji23]

My oh my it’s hormones galore here. She’s been super feisty and bitey. She tried to regurgitate for me once but I immediately grabbed The Devil Bell (pretty much any bell) and distracted her with it. I keep finding her look in cracks and crevices and other dark places with a great deal of interest and clicking and she’s also suddenly become OBSESSED with being on the floor; I suspect in another attempt to look for nesting spots. Until 2 days ago, she didn’t even know the floor existed.

So I’ll get religious about her bedtime again (she’s been sweet talking me into letting her stay up late) and maybe tomorrow I’ll rearrange her cage. I’m already following all the other “rules” about where I pet her and etc.

I guess this means spring is on its way? Trying to find something positive lol

Oooh the wonderful world of teeny tiny birdies with BIG hormones!! I feel your pain completely Inger! Even though it’s not officially Lilly’s breeding season she still tries every now and then to sneak into a little crevice and just see what she can get away with. I have to watch her every move!

Lilly’s doctor said to cut back on her high energy dense foods which in her case means her wet mix and fruit. Theoretically if she has to work more for her food and is even a tiny touch underweight it’s less likely that she’ll think “Plenty of food about, might go lay me some eggs!” Maybe this kind of strategy might help you with Bumble? Although I have yet to see if it works with Lilly in the height of her hormonal surge in our winter!

May you get through this thing egg-free!

My co-worker at the parrot shop says the same thing. Says that since egg-laying is so energy-intensive, it helps to keep a bird a touch underweight. If resources are abundant, birds have the extra energy to use on eggs.

Hang in there, Inger!

Whoa again. That means this magical parrot shop where you work must be nearby! Is it in Bothell, by chance?

Lol, nope, we have not had a conversation about both being in Everett. We should meet up for coffee or something!

The shop isn't in Bothell. It's about ninety minutes to two hours south of Everett during rush hour. (As I am painfully well-aware, haha.) It's only about 35 minutes away in good traffic. And don't forget the ... the silly blue Muppet is pretty prominent on our Facebook page.

Very cool - I’m just north of you both near Bellingham. I saw the blue Muppet on FB and never made the connection that she was the one that I had been reading about on your thread

We should definitely meet up for coffee. There are a bunch of us here in Western WA and we should gather.

I work in Renton so I feel your pain. Ok I give up what’s the shop?

That'd be great!

As for which store, I'll PM you! Don't want to look like I'm trying to advertise

Nice! Yeah, she's a real character. LOVE that goofy girl. You should come down sometime. I'll introduce you.
