Oh, my. Rome is a very well behaved Too, one of a kind :21:. I've never met any other bird quite like Rome, shes very unique. Don't get me wrong we have boundaries for her (every Too has to have boundaries or you'll have a dangerous Too) but perching inside I cant seem to make happen. She will jump onto the floor off the perch, I finally decided it wasn't worth the risk of injury and stopped trying. It doesn't cause any problems for her to not perch, she is content sitting on top of a chair or on the table/counter top (she helps me do dishes - if I put dishes on the counter she will throw them in the sink - so cute). She also sits on the couch arm or the back of the couch or on the seat next to you.
I allow her to have a little more freedom than I would any other bird because she is so well behaved. She doesn't typically destroy anything in the house (except the bath room, she likes destroying the bathroom). This Too has ZERO aggression, the only bird I have handled that I can say without a doubt wont bite - EVER. If your doing something that she doesn't like she will take her hand (oops foot) grab yours and push it away, if that doesn't get the message through then she moves away from you. I always supervise when someone else is handling her, so that if she does start to feel uncomfortable I can intervene and explain her body language to them. I don't want her to ever feel like she has to resort to biting to defend herself. We are very respectful of her personal space and constantly read her body language. Shes the most submissive bird I've ever met. If all Toos were like Rome, everyone would have one (aside from the scream, she doesn't do it all the time but she has a M2 scream that only her mommy seems to be able to stand).
She really isn't a handful at all, shes a dream to have.
