my GCC, beaker, came home in late august. i did not expect a bird, but my rabbit had died and i was very upset. my husband went to petsmart and came home with this green bird. i loved him immediately. (had i picked out my own bird he would have been a rescue or re-home).
beaker has never been afraid of us. he will always step up, come to us, has even "asked" for help once when he got a string wrapped around his leg by limping over to me and sticking out his foot.
but he has never been a cuddly bird until the last week or two. now he will spent hours setting on my finger and shoving his head under my thumb so i can rub his head. he still bites a lot (this has never bothered me, i am an artisan, i have tough hands) but it is SO GOOD that he will let me know when he wants affection. i feel as if i have been honored in some special way!
