Back From Vacation!

I am so sorry that it has been so very long since you have heard from me. With the house remodel and vacation, I simply have not had time for bloggin.

This time, when we went on vacation, we left Jazz in the living room with Grandma. They kept each other company. He didn't get near as lonely and wasn't near as snippy when we came home.

The only thing that happened was kinda funny. He is used to being let out of his cage every night to play on his toys and such. Since Grandma is 85 years old with tender skin, we didn't want to risk her being nipped so he stayed in his cage. I guess at some point he got bored and figured out how to lift the hanger on his water bottle and send the bottle flying to the floor.

Grandma got tired of his game and secured the bottle to the cage with twist ties. When I came home, I was curious so I put it back up right and sure enough, he started it again. So Jazz has a new water bottle with a stronger, tighter hanger.

Other than that we didn't have to deal with the anger at us for leaving him alone. The only thing so far is that he has not yet returned to his normal chatty self. Mostly just whistles and chirps and "C'mere!"



Time Outdoors

Jazz loves to go out on the patio. Its a safe, enclosed place where he can get the feel of being outside, especially since we have a live tree out there. For the first time last night, he sat happily in it. Here are a few pictures:
If you remember, when we got Jazz, he had been kept in a cage that was too small, so his tailfeathers were chewed all up and ugly. Take a look at how beautifully it is growing out!

Almost all of the ugly feathers fell out in this molt and from this angle you can see the new feathers growing in.



We're so glad to be blogging again. If you have questions or suggestions, please keep sending them in. We're having so much fun answering them.

Have a great day!
