I posted this one on facebook and must have gotten 15 "likes"...they called it "Jack's selfie".

He likes his kitchen stand, but would rather be on the couch with me. He is probably thinking "Less clicking that thing in my face, more picking me up!"

I swear, this bird just isn't happy until he is on my arm, or my lap...

Here he is with his tiny plastic beer mug (my husband loves this) eating some peanut butter out of it. And next, our favorite, the "four beers in" look...

Hopefully soon I can show you pics of how much he loves his aviary! :)

What awesome pics!!!! Jack is gorgeous and looks like he is full of personality!

I love the mini mug idea!!

[jacksmom]

Thanks, Kendra...yeah, like most of his kind he is really a ham! The funniest so far has been watching him eat Bojangles rice out of it. It's his junk food cup. ;) When he is done, of course he throws it on the floor triumphantly. :)

Thanks for sharing the pics, Grace :D. It's easy to see what a cool bird Jack is and why you love him so much :). I just saw this thread... sorry I'm so late to reply.

I love that he has a junk food mug. And him throwing it down when he's done makes it even better!!

[jacksmom]

Oh yeah, he sure is chock full of attitude. ;) He loves my husband, and my neighbor, but no one like his momma - his dependence on me really pulls my heartstrings...he doesn't need me to feed him, or clean up after him...he really needs me to love him. It is amazing to me the need that they have to bond. As strong, or stronger than any dog. Non-bird people will just never get it. ;)

You have that right. The love I get and the need for my love/attention is unlike any other animal I have shared my life with. It was not something I was prepared for. She really is my third child. :)

I often refer to Jack as "the feathered two year old". They really are on that intelligence scale, I know...but it seems emotionally they are as well! :)

These photos are great. Jack looks like he can be such a goof. I love his junk food cup too.
