Its kinda been a trial, for his companion bird Chip screams everytime I leave the room and is very needy, wanting to sit on my shoulder constantly. I try not to give feedback when he screams, if anyone has ever heard a larger bird scream and make a fuss its not pleasant. Think 2 yr old child tantrum in the supermarket.. heh heh. When he quiets a bit and just does the 'where are you' call, I let him out. He then sits contentedly on my shoulder, dozing and occassionally grooming me. (no, my freckle is not a bug.. quit trying to peck it off!). Its very sad how he keeps calling for Rudy, they spent 10 yrs together.

the good news is that my living room looks much nicer without two enormous cages in it.
