Charles - The Bird

I bought a bird for my daughter last Thursday. It has only been one week and - well - the bird may belong to my daughter and she may be the one who cleans the cage, but guess who is the bird's mama? Uhuh, ME! He is on my shoulder right now. Cleaning his feathers. I take him out of the cage for a few hours in the a.m. and then in the evening for a few hours. He is now talking to me when he gets on my shoulder. His crest will be completely down and he does these soft chirps. I wanted to change my clothes and I tried to take him off my shoulder and put him on the bed. He pecked at my finger and would not get on. So I put my shoulder down on the bed and thought he would walk off. But this bird got right in the middle of my back so I could not see him by turning my head to either side. I had to get my daughter to get her bird off my back. Now he is doing something with my hair. He tries to eat my earings and has bitten my ear. Today when I started eating dinner, he wanted to eat too. So I cut up some peanuts for him to eat from my hand because I'm sure he cannot have pepperoni pizza! Anyway, he is a very sweet bird and I now have a new baby in the house - Charles - Prince Charles.
