Traveling with Baby was a breeze!! He barely made a peep! When we had him out everyone came around and was like, "Ooo! What kind of bird is that?" "Can he talk?" and of course, "What a pretty bird you have!"

*proud mama smiles* He didn't make a peep on the plane, either. The security people were in awe of him.
Of course Grandma (my mum) fell in love with him and wants an IRN of her own
Well we stopped at Petland on our way to Mum's to pick Baby up a cage for her place. Of course we had to play with their parrots too. There was a SWEET lil albino irn they said had been there for a year

Then for the first time ever I saw an Alexandrine. They are SOOO cool!! I think I want one some day

Then..............

........they had a big old Catalina Macaw that had been there about a year. I stuck my arm in for him to step up and said, "Step up" so he repeated my, "Step up" followed by a "Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!" He was a great talker. He was fine at first on my arm but then he started ruffling his feathers and slightly lunging at me. I got a lil uneasy and he could sense it so he started bluffing at me and nibbling my finger. I didn't think anything about it so I kept him on my arm. However, one of the employees walked by and grabbed his tail!!!!! He bite onto my finger and gnawed at it. It punctured my finger in 2 holes, drew blood and it's very swollen. He could have broken it if he wanted. I think I learned my lesson though, I can't handle big parrot bluffing (and that some Petland workers need to be shot

)...therefore I think the largest we will go will be a Severe Macaw some day

(or maybe eclectus). But there goes my Palm Cockatoo dream

It not like I won't ever hold a big old bid again, just not a big macaw! Their beaks scare me!!
Anywho, we plan to take Baby to the lake tomorrow (today just we people are going so we can lounge around on floaties). Baby is adjusting SO well. His cage is right by the window in our room and he LOVES looking out it and sqwaking when birds fly by!
