Mishka cousin is coming to visit

[antoinette]

I was out for 6 hours today, leaving Mishka and Zazo on their own (separate cages of course). On returning, I noticed that they were extremely quiet. A few minutes later, Mishka began to make the sounds of car alarms. This is Zazo's "specialty", so happy that my baby is learning something from Zazo.
After dinner, Mishka was making the sounds of bubbles, and saying bubbles bubbles. Zazo joined in making the sounds of bubbles. Eventually Mishka bubbles bubbles and Zazo kept making the sound of bubbles. It was the cutes, most lovable thing to witness.
I think they are falling in love Lol.

This thread is going to win the prize for the longest thread ever!!

You're probably right! This is going to be a hot topic.

That's so cute, I knew that they were going to learn things from one another. I bet Nikki will be suprised when Zazo goes home and says, 'Jenny's doggies are barking.'

 

[antoinette]

Reckon they are kind to the hand that feeds them.

I think Greencheek would disagree with you on that one

I'm not surprised because you seem to have a really special rapport with the feathered kingdom

LoL I will agree with whatever Greencheek says

I reckon just being loving, respectful, and showing kindness to them, goes a long long way. :63:

Zazo will probably learn to say "mom mommy Antoinette" your telephone is ringing". That is Mishka's favorite saying at the moment.

Zazo is not having a good day, I think he's in a bad mood !!!!!!!
Steven was giving him head scratches, which he often does, and suddenly he lunges and bit his finger. LoL I have never heard Steven swear, shame I should not laugh, it must have been eina. He was bleeding. He was so shocked and upset having never been bitten before . Said he will never go near Zazo again. Not to upset him further, I kept quiet. Zazo still refused to eat out his bowl this morning, I got tired of holding the bowl for him, placed one on top of the cage and BINGO, he's eating.
However, he is now being very aggressive towards me, also trying to bite me.
Steven later came to apologize for swearing and said, he realizes now, what a calm, non stressed bird Mishka is. I reckon Steven appreciates Mishka more than ever now.

Here comes the frustrations from the harmones that are flowing between them. Have you put them close together yet?

My thoughts exactly THEN I spoke to Nikki.........
"No don't worry he behaves that way"
NOW WHAT DO I DO?

Zazo sits on top of his cage, while Mishka is on her playpen, about a metre apart. I have taken Mishka right up to his cage, she has declared her love for him, and often says I love you Zazo. Oh I wanted to eat her up there and then LoL.
Neither of them seem to be interested in the other, well at least today anyway.
Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day

I know you would love to see them playing together. Can you put them both on the playpen at the same time??

I would LOVE to see them playing together, my one wish honestly.
Going to give it a go tomorrow, when Steven is here.
Wish us luck .....

YOU WERE SO CORRECT !!!!!! You should have taken a bet LoL
Zazo is now starting to bark like a dog

 

[antoinette]

Had great progress with Zazo last night !!!!!
After Mishka had her quality time with me, then went to bed, I spent time alone with Zazo. Tried showing him how to use the potty, (what a big mess yuck), but hey he eventually mastered it !!!!!!!!
While sitting on my lap I kept showing him "High Five", he looked at me like I was mad LoL.
Then this morning, when greeting him, he showed me "high Five", it was the cutest thing to see.
Before going onto the playpen, they both sat on the potty first.
They are now sharing a piece of apple.

OK sis now you please come train Rosie!!

 

[antoinette]

SB I think I must have a "bird brain" LoL
Maybe that's why they understand and listen to me.

 

[Spiritbird]

Well said. You are our bird whisperer.

 

[antoinette]

Oh I love that ........... mwah

Better than being called the Parrot Lady or the Nut lady

 

[antoinette]

This was so funny .........
This morning Mishka and Zazo were on the playpen. Mishka began to imitate bird whistles. Zazo flew to the window, landed on the curtain, looking for the birds.

Mishka sat there, enjoying the free entertainment, and kept saying LoL LoL LoL.
She has such a wicked sense of humor !!!!!!!!

You must have the camera in your pocket ready to shoot at any moment to have captured this one. Now that you have had 2 for a while would you want 2 of your own?? I am not getting the tiels after all. Too soon and I do not want to change my relationship with Rosie.

What a great story to follow, it's so much fun to hear about these birds. I bet you're having so much fun with these two clowns!

Would it be at all possible to get them on video?

These two would put clowns to shame LoL
They finished dinner earlier, now both back on the playpen

Mishka is swinging away, while Zazo watches from the top.

Tomorrow is a public holiday here.. going to video them, if they let me

I was lucky to have snapped these two pic's so quickly.
I was busy in the kitchen, keeping an eye on them, when this incident occurred. I grabbed my cell phone, ran towards Zazo, took a pic, then took one of Mishka sitting there. I'm surprised how well they came out.

As I mentioned before, Mishka and I have such an amazing relationship, I would never jeopardies what we have. She loves Zazo to bits, I can see that. I do have bad days with my injured hand, can't take a chance there. Running the business on my own, my time is limited. We chat all day long. I spend 3 quality hours with her every night. It would be unfair on both sides, taking on more than I can chew.
I am privileged to be her guardian, having her in my life.
I have been blessed with a healthy, happy bird.
