Blah. Here's the mess I made in October.
Where's Syd? He's on the floor beside my desk under ye olde Cork Board of Interestingness.
We're training him not to bite or be cage aggressive, so I placed him in a spot that is central to the goings-on of the house instead of on top of my desk. I liked having him up there, but the mess was a bit much to handle and he was quite distracting. Now I leave a ladder on his cage and he can come see me whenever he wants. We've created a larger play area out of a nylon cage a friend of ours brought over in our living room so he can fly around and take a bath. His quarters a little cramped so I'm looking for a larger home. He climbs off his cage and walks around on the floor. I have been hiding Cheerios around my desk and he's pretty good at finding them.
He says, "Nope-nope-nope-nope-nope" — something I've been saying to keep him from climbing up on my shoulder. He's not allowed up there until he quits biting people. With some clicker training and praise, Mike can get a little closer now without Syd spazzing out and lunging to bite. We're still working on this but I am hoping he'll get over it sooner than later.
He's pretty much nailed the intro to the Imperial March. I've got to catch him doing it on video!
