I had to go to hospital for a kidney stone treatment last Friday. It was quite a traumatic day and I looked forward to going home and spending time with Shah - who I mistakenly thought would just sit quietly with me. How wrong could I be? Everytime I tried to go to sleep, he yelled at me, then pecked me on the face and, if I didnt respond to this, he would bellow at me. If I put him in his cage, he would just yell and then go to the bottom of the cage and go hysterical. This has gone on for 5 days now. I wouldnt put him in a time out situation because he really hadnt done anything wrong. In the past if I have been sick, my animals would just sit quietly beside me. I couldnt believe he was so demanding of attention. Usually if I take a nap, he takes one with me, but not this time. Someone mentioned that he was probably worried about me - I find this hard to believe. I think he was so thrilled that I was home all the time that he made the most of it. And talk about having constant head scritches - he would have temper tantrums if I stopped doing it. I hate to say it, but I am glad to be back at work. His days of nursing are well and truly over! But I had to laugh this morning when I was leaving - he kept saying "got a kiss". I am looking forward to going home tonight and seeing my little green and grey bully!

LOL okay, I got a giggle out of that last part. What a bird he is!!

It is frustrating when you aren't feeling well and the critters are demanding. I've gone through some of that. Luckily, I survived!!

awww thats too cute lol! Theyre a mess arent they!

Boy, was I in serious trouble when I got home last night! Shah just yelled and yelled for attention until we had our cuddle time. He really is a gorgeous boy and wanted me to sing songs to him so he could "sing" along but he is still very demanding. Will take him out and about on the weekend and, hopefully, that will settle him down - we go to a public garden where he can hear lorikeets (his favourite), kookaburras, eastern rosellas, crimson rosellas and sulphur crested cockatoos (which he tries to mimic - much to my horror).

isn't that peculiar how most every night they will play and be little angels, but the one night you need a nap or some peace and quiet, they become loud and needy!
I have noticed this with Poppy. Dogs or cats, they act opposite.
