Queen of the Castle

I honestly don't know what gets into Rosie sometimes, she did this 3 days in a row. She is up 7 1/2 feet in the air here (I am looking down on my minions).

What a kooky too.

It must be nice to be Queen! Especially when your servants adore you, treat you with lots of love, and prepare your food with great healthy choices. She looks like she is showing you how wonderful your love makes her feel, that she wants to sit high and tall to show the world what a happy girl she is!!!!

Exactly she is a too and surveying her queendom.

Rosie is loving life! I really think that birds just like being high in the sky :). When I cut Amigo loose in the morning, he flys to the tip top of the highest tree in the yard. After he has surveyed his territory, he moves on :)

[PeachyDoll]

How do you do it Mare? Does he have breakfast then takes a leap from your arm?

[Mare]

He has breakfast with the rest of bird family and maybe 20 mins. after eating he lets me know he's ready to go by dancing from one foot to the other and calling me. Their room has a sliding glass door that goes out to the deck. I get him out of his cage, open the slider, walk out to the edge of the deck, have a bit of a cuddle, then I count 1..2..3! He takes off on 3 :)

Does Rosie come down if you ask her?

Man..I'd be afraid to try flighting with any of our birds..it would be amazing to see them have the freedom and to actually be birds..but I'd be so worried a hawk would pluck one of the conures or Seminole, right out of the sky...

[Mare]

Brandon, I don't have all these gray hairs for nothing! :). The early years of flying him was way more stressful for just that reason..you just DONT know. I definitely would have a hard time letting a bird smaller than Amigo fly freely.

[PeachyDoll]

Ha Mare! I knew there must be a ritual, sure enough.

Rosie will not come down unless I lure her with a walnut or pecan and there is no need for that unless she was in danger. The other night after Rosie was asleep in her birdie condo and covered I heard a neighbor's cat screeching with another cat in our yard. I was half asleep and confused thinking she was on top of her cage or something. I ran out in a panic with a flashlight and with our female Boxer who hates cats. I think the cat had already hopped the fence realizing there were too many dogs on this side of the wall. I've never seen any of them nearby or in our yard during the day but if I hear them at any time I want to encourage them to be elsewhere.

Believe me ..I'm not judging...its awesome that your fid can fly...I would need a rocket pack to watch over ours...can you imagine the bird talk?? Oh..that..that's our dad...who won't leave us alone!!!! Geeez...

[Mare]

Does Rosie sleep outside? Once in a while, Amigo would sleep in his hole in the tree during warm summer nights but once the raccoons discovered his hole, those days are over :)

[PeachyDoll]

OMG No Mare, she sleeps just outside our bedroom in the family room in her cage. Amigo is special and has special circumstances that's for sure.

[Mare]

Oh, ok :). I just wasn't sure if the cage you show her on is her indoor or outdoor cage. I would be afraid to cage my bird outdoors at night, too..unless it was a large aviary with cover and a place to get out of the cold.

[PeachyDoll]

I see why now you thought it was outdoors. We have temporary walls boarding up our bedroom where we live because to a/c the whole house is very expensive. So the boards keep the a/c concentrated and the electricity at a moderate rate.

[Mare]

Ok, got it! :). I just never know. I have two large cages on my deck and a huge one in the yard. Amigo rarely uses any of them, the doors are always open and for fun he'll remove the portals that hold the food bowls (from the outside) and crawl inside, silly bird.
