Thanks Liz...he overshot my hand and took off. My daughter was here, we both took turns warming him in a towel. He was content there as long as the head tickles and beak rubs kept coming!

Dante, he was hanging upside down from his swing today, rocking it back and forth...keeps himself busy!!

He is still young so he has a bit to go, his personality will slowly come out!!

Cindy, how happy this bird must be in his new home being spoiled rotten :P

He is so adorable. I absolutely LOVE the pic of him wrapped up in the towel. Too cute!

You said he likes to answer your shafttails... what type of sound do they normally make? Is it singing or a chirping? Never heard a shafttail before... kinda curious.

Rummy is such a sweet bird :)

Lisa go to this site and scroll to shaft tail, there is a video clip.

The do make other sharper sounds which he like to chitter and chirp back to.
