What a great gift I got this morning from Peabody!
Went out to see if he was awake and lifted a corner of his blanket. There he sat, face pressed to the bars of the cage, to see me. I dropped the blanket and giggled a bit at the silly boy ... then heard, as clear as could be, "Peek-a-boo?"
He was asking me to play with him! We did 'peek-a-boo' a few times (each time being rewarded with a pine nut) before he started to lose interest, so off came his blankie for the day.
He didn't speak (English) for the rest of the day, or the day after ... but it's all good. He's still coming right up to me to get a treat out of my hands and is responding well to the clicker, "come" and "step up" and is happy to spend lots of time riding around on my shoulder.
