This is just a little story of last weekend, sorry if it belongs somewhere else I couldnāt find the stories section.
Solo is my boy, he loves me very much and will shoulder surf whenever he can. Heās not affectionate
but he shows his love in his own way.
anyway, last weekend I went to visit my friend for two nights, hubby stayed at home and Solo was as good as gold for him.
when I got home I immediately went up to Solo and said how lovely it was to see him and would he like to say hello Etcā¦ he just looked at me and flew off to the other side of the room and ignored me for about 40 mins. Then he flew back and sat on my shoulder and then generally played naughty to get attention; when put away for dinner he sang his screechy happy song for about an hour. Hubby said he had been well behaved but silent for The 2 nights I was away.
I think he was a bit annoyed I had gone āmissingā for two days ! fortunately it didnāt take too long for him to forgive me.
I was just wondering does anyone else bird do this ?
Edit- I just read the Tuesdays back from vacation post, very interesting!
last night I went out for a few hours, and when I got back he was not asleepā¦ but waiting, on his corner perch and seemed really excited to see me, did a little tappy run on the spot and bobbed his head up and down. It was very cute. then he jumped back to his roosting spot.
On a side note we are going on vacation next year and have arranged a sitter, who he adores; probably more than me ! she will have to go to work for a few hours on some days but will be living here with him. Iām sure he will be over the moon to be living with her. At the moment he sees her a few times a month. I said today I will leave some videos she can play to him of us singing/talking. Hopefully he wonāt be too mad when we get back.
edit= I just read how to explain it to them like for Salty, Iāll do that next time and see if it helps. I havenāt taught him counting maybe I should.
