I am so happy with the new development on my Rich. I taught her how to shake hands and in just 20 minutes, she learned the trick. I am so amazed on how fast my baby learned it. When I say "SHAKE HANDS", she now knows how to raise her right foot and touch my finger. Aside from this, she now lets me cuddle her. She loves being scratched on her head and neck. While I am scratching her, she is mumbling some sounds I dont understand. I hope it will become understandable later. I think I already have tamed her 99%. :) :) :)

No MissK, I just give treats ( sunflower seeds)

Rich is 6 months old, Ellie.

Here's a short video of Rich, though the video shows that she also uses her bill to approach me, normally, she will just raise her right foot:
