Rosie decided she was getting all my attention today after work. I was not allowed to talk to anyone unless she was sitting on me and monitoring/commenting. Just one of those days I guess.
I am wiped so I was just too tired to argue when she refused to get off me as I was vacuuming her area. As I was vacuuming and Rosie was pinching and hanging off my head, the doorbell rings. I was not dressed to answer the door so Ash did while I scrambled to find something to throw over my tank top.
As I come around the corner in a ridiculous fleece coat (it is 90° but that's all I could find) I see a college kid looking for donations being accosted by my tiny dogs. Ash opened the door and left him. Sigh... With all the craziness I forgot Rosie was on my shoulder. (She refused to get off me but she kindly climbed on my head so I could put the coat on. ;) ) The kid looks at me with amazement and I am thinking he is amazed at the insanity of a woman in a heavy coat in this weather. Instead he says I LOVE your parrot. Rosie must have been flattered bc she started dancing & saying hi during his schpiel. Now he was really interested, he asked to touch her and all the usual questions ensued. So Rosie was very excited. Once I finally got him out of here she was really worked up.
We came upstairs and all seemed normal...until she pegged me while we were about to get her water. She bit my hand right between the bones that lead to the pinkie and ring finger. She nailed me so fast and so hard I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. Then the pain hit and I almost threw up. No blood, but man, does my hand hurt.
She is now on her stand in my room thinking about her evil deed. Not really, she is happily grinding her beak getting sleepy. Ugh, lesson learned. Keep my guard up when Miss Thing gets overstimulated.
