He did really well today while I was hanging out with him. I've been wary of letting him mess with my fingers or use his beak on me while we figure each other out. The shelter owner has a nice scar curtesy of Red, so he has proven to not be overly trust worthy with his beak more than once. But after a couple of sessions now over the last week or two of us hanging out...I decided he had earned some trust and let him beak at my fingers.
I think I spent 40minutes getting licked by a scarlet and getting my arm and fingers groomed. He was also tugging at my hair a bit and trying to play with my hoodie strings. He was also trusting me to play with his beak a little and I was trusting him not to change his mind and nail me....practically had my finger in his beak at one point since I was touching the side and he opened his mouth but he just stuck his tongue out to taste my finger.
He was also better about the stand and stepping off/on to it. Though he was trying to trash the stand when a couple people walked by in his anger of having them near his space or seeing their face not sure which it was really...and I almost lost part of my chest area when someone tried to scratch his head and he turned around and grabbed me to show his dislike of the idea. He did hand off to Jeanne nicely.
He did give me lots of attitude in the cage today for some reason usually he isn't half bad in the cage for me. Guess he had to give attitude somewhere or he wouldn't feel like himself
Couple pics though they look like the others!
