I'm a little embarrassed for him, he really had no shame, I mean it was in front of me and everything, but Baloo ....humped. Only once and he hasnt done it again but still, where did he learn this? TV? Music? Oddly enough, the recipient of his little teenage act was a ping pong ball that he managed to balance on while leaning on unsuspecting Bam Bam. LOL, my boys turning into a man I guess, or just experimenting perhaps? What a little dork.

I went to Texas a couple weeks ago and was gone for 5 days so the house was under Fred's rule and I was a little curious to how Bam Bam and Baloo would get along. When I came back, after  getting mauled by Bam Bam's happy butt Fred told me about something that happened that was so cute. He had his friends over one night and while Fred was in the kitchen they were playing with Baloo on the couch. After a little bit Baloo apparently started to get irritale and nipping and making his little angr...

When did my baby get those vocal cords? I never really had a problem with Baloo screaming, I would be able to control it with some dark cage cover time but lately he was screaming right after he has eaten breakfast. It wasn't the screeching sort of yell but those loud high pitched peeps in 2-5 second intervals. Needless to say I was ready to jump out the window. I was switching out toys and ignoring him, but it really wasnt working. I thought he needed a bigger cage since I knew his cage was ...

I have noticed that maybe once or twice a week Baloo gets very jittery and nervous almost like he doesnt know what he wants to do. I put him on the floor to run around but he wants to come to me, when he's on me he wants to go somewhere else but doesnt know where. He makes his little indecisive chirps and has the attention span of a 2 y old on a soda kick. Then one day while in this mood Fred took him to the bathroom so he could wash his hands and the next thing he knows Baloo jumps in the si...

Baloo isnt feelin so hot today :( he is still eating fine and his poop is normal but he hasnt been as energetic as normal and slept on my chest today with my hand cupping him for a couple hours. And he was sneezing a bit so I think hes just a little under the weather and not used to the cold as it is his first winter. I know its So Cal but 63 degrees is cold! At least to us it is! So I went out to buy a heating pad for his cage when we arent here and at night ( times when the heater isnt on)....

Caiques have a tendency to like to surf (grab onto clothes or hair with their feet and rub their head and chest all over you) but Baloo hasent done this in the five months we have had him. But  2 nights ago after a pleasant taco tuesday night, my friend came over and met Baloo for the first time. Baloo really took to him because not only was he absolutely lovin the adventures of wrinkled sweater land but he was surfing all over his chest! I guess he had to establish his fashion sense 1st befo...
