Hopefully this picture posts, not an entry, nor our bird, but this is Myles! As I think I may have mentioned in other threads, my wife is a veterinary technician and he is a frequent boarding client who has formed a special bond to my wife, so much so that he has been in hot water with his parronts a few times, there has been joke about him going home with my wife a few times.
Nice image of Myles, thank you for memorializing the relationship!!

Thanks guys, funny how serious an innocent joke can become, quickly! Myles's parronts came in to pick him up on scheduled time, but instead offered my wife to keep him, so he will be home probably tomorrow afternoon. I know he doesn't care for men too much, so I'm hoping he will at least give me a shot, but he makes my wife happy, and she does the same for him, so I couldn't deny them their opportunity of being happy, wish me some luck!

Thank you, I hope! Would make my day if I'm the only man he likes!

Off topic, but there is much you can do to improve his opinion about you ( not nessesarily about all men). Figure out his most favorite treat in the world, and you then become the sole provider of said favorite treat. Every time you pass his cage or play stand, you offer it to him. Be 100% consistent about it. The best way to a parrots heart is thru his belly ( same way as it is for all us guys). Good luck, he is gorgeous looking. I now return you to your regularly scheduled PF contest of the Month.

Thank you for the pointer, and you always have a way of making me chuckle, seemingly when I could use it the most!

Here is Jefferson taking a Lettuce Bath this morning.

Just a short clip but he was jumping in & out & about like that for quite a while, both before and after that clip.

Most of the chirruping was from Calliope, offscreen--who quite uncharacteristically waited her turn before jumping in!

Nice leisurely bath for Lettuce in the comfort of his home!

Tori seems quite at home on her fancy new tree stand... and very interested in her surroundings. Nice!

Congratulations! This is great news! Hoping to hear lots of updates over the coming days and weeks! And Al's advice regarding shameless bribery were very much on point!

A lettuce bath! That's a new one for me! But watching him jump all about like brings a smile to my face.

I'm seeing it fine this time and a few pages earlier. Only issue is that you make it really small, but I've enlarged it for you. Here is a link to some instructions on posting pics: http://www.parrotforums.com/technical-support/6287-how-post-pictures-6.html Post #51 and on has the most recent info for posting pics.
 
Sorry my pictures have issues, all I have to post is my cell phone, kids decided to smash the laptop, and I'm not the tech type either unfortunately, I'll see what I can do about them in the future, I apprichiate the help keeping them posted!
