Timneh now uses my head like a landing pad. Shes funny I'll set her on her perch walk away to do something and I hear wings two minutes later here she comes. She can land on my finger now too which is cool. My niece and nephews were over today who have played with Timneh a few times now. She was trying to fly onto them but they were too scared. She was quite nice about it, she would fly to them and when they coward away she would move on until she found a place to land. She likes to play ball with them they fetch she throws. We almost had Timneh on her skateboard but she knew something was up. Shes nipped them before but only one incident with minor skin breaking. Basically when someone gets a little too comfortable and thinks they can pet her like a dog. Always closely supervised but we have had much success with Timneh stepping up for them yet. But she is very interested as she will fly to one of them before me. She is definitely getting to know them though which is cool its only a matter of time I think before they will be able to get her to step up for them. For me its getting her to step down sometimes. This is actually and old picture of the playing when I first got Timneh around last Thanksgiving.:D The kids have also gotten much better with Timneh. They understand she can be unpredictable and dangerous and much caution is needed when she is out and about. A couple of my nephews would like a bird in the family actually kind of cool. Both groups are great, great kids great Fid.

Sounds great. My Bella does the same thing, following me around by air. If I am out of her line of sight too long she comes flying in.

Sweet pic! Glad Timneh and your nieces and nephews get along and that she is becoming a skilled flyer!
