ORIGINAL: BlackPhx I empathize with you and wish I could quit, but I have got to get my weight and blood sugars under control. The neuropathy is driving me nuts. As for feather head perhaps he needs to be reminded whose da mommy. I had an African Gray I hand reared and he seemed to think he was king of the animals in the house and had pecking authority over every one including me... He changed his mind on that last one, one thanksgiving when I was prepping the turkey for the oven and he decided to explore the inside of the bird and the stuffing. I removed him and showed him the warming oven and then put the turkey in it as he watched from my shoulder.. a couple of clucks and a whistle of alarm and he stayed out of my way the rest of the day and showed me more respect afterward for some reason. Avalon could recite entire phone calls and theme songs from TV shows, but refused to learn to say: "Tiny Drumsticks" or "Microwave Me" for some reason. I miss dat boid. poenkitten *snickers like mad* They have such huge personalities dont they? I miss my Max too.... (Blue Front Amazon) he loved MTV, esp Prince ( It was the late 80's ) he loved to dance, to eat icecream.. and to get in the shower with me. He had everyone but me in that house aware of who the boss was. He even once climbed down from his huge cage I had, walked backwords so no one would know where he was going... ( that was his fave trick) and yanked a hunk of fur from my Pomerianians tummy, yelled at him "I'm the boss" and walked back up to his cage laughing his ass off. My mum would play spank me, and he would fly off of the cage saying "My Dawn! You leave her alone! I will bite you!" And he would attack her. *chuckles* He also would call my name and Ma-ma if I left the room with out him for too long. I miss him so much. Gwyn
