  1. Good morning everyone 🌻 I'm up early with the parrots and happy that my hectic work week is over again. Ziggy agrees with me that a nice long, unhurried cuddle is definitely better ☺️

    We finally had some success with the java tree I bought ages ago when Toby decided to fly up on to it yesterday evening. He sat there for a few minutes, inspected the attached food bowl, found it empty and flew off again. It's a start at least, after weeks of them all basically ignoring it. I think a well placed papaya treat might sweeten the deal too 😁

    Plans for today include a little Parrot Kitchen and the crochet as I have a new toy order and will start working on that. No doubt Stardew Valley videos may be involved.

    Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗

  3. Here's a little video of Toby playing with the fake baby remote control I managed to find. He absolutely loves it and plays with it for ages. Best £9.99 I ever spent! ☺️

  5. Good morning everyone 🌅 Work is already in full bonkers mode so here is a wee video of Toby for you while I jump back in again.

  7. Good morning everyone 🌞 I'm just up from a good long lie as Grant got up for the birds today. I always feel a bit guilty about lying in, but I was nice and dozy this morning for sure. I was going to sit in the living room and have a coffee, but Toby had other ideas, screaming at me constantly, and I'm really not nearly awake enough yet for *that* so I am now in the dining room, chased from my own comfy couch by a parrot 🥴 Grant is still dozing on the couch mind you, Toby having no problem with him being there!

    No real plans for today other than the usual Sunday chores. Maybe a catch up later with my sisters and daughter on the phone. I need to start looking out yarn for the competition toy too. (This is where I no doubt find out I don't have enough of the correct colours and have to order more as is always the way 😂)

  9. Good morning you lovely lot 💕 I am up with the parrots again this morning, but there is no work to rush into, do I can sit and have a leisurely cuddle with Ziggy while listening to Toby chomp away 😊

    I'm glad to say there was no repeat of the toe tapping episode the other night, so it looks like it might be too many dried papaya treats that did it.

    All my birds love those treats - they are like parrot crack cocaine if their reactions when you rattle the pack are anything to go by 😊 But he had about three or four that day and Eclectus are known to be sensitive to dried fruit - even without any sulphate as these are apparently. I'm glad it was an easy explanation though. Chasing down food intolerances is a painful process of elimination that I haven't had to do in a while. It's why his diet isn't very adventurous- I stick to the foods I know don't cause him any issues.

    When he first came to us it took me a while to figure out that corn and strawberries both caused wing flipping and budgie seed - cited by Eclectus breeders as something they feed to their birds - caused awful toe tapping. They are very complex parrots for sure, and every one is different.

    I have to go to the dentist this morning to have that wobbly molar pulled out. Not looking forward to that, but it needs to be done. Until then I am going to relax with some Stardew Valley and later , afterwards, it's back to crochet orders.

  11. Good morning my Fine Fedi Friends 💕 I'm up early with the parrots once again. Grant offered to get up for them, but I don't really get much of a long lie on a work day so I prefer just to get up and sort them out. They are all munching away after a very brief cuddle with Ziggy who was too hungry for much playtime today.

    Toby has started mimicking the microwave and he has the beeping sound down to a T..I ran through yesterday thinking something was up with it (we had one previously catch fire due to an electrical fault) before I realised the sound was actually coming from the living room 🙂 He seems to prefer noises to talking. At night when he sits with me he loves it if I make "too too too" sounds. He puts his beak right up against my face and repeats the noise. He also likes the "Kiss, mwah!" game. Anything that involves sticking his beak in my face basically 😂

    Work again today. Lots to get on with, but happily fairly free of meetings for a change.

    Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗

  13. Toby is from the same breeder as Pete and has the same Mom and Dad! 🤯 #peter #toby

  14. Toby doesn't speak when anyone is in the room, but now that I have moved to the kitchen to get some brekkie I can hear him saying "Kiss!" in my voice and making kissing noises 😊

  16. Poor Toby, obviously the victim of one too many robot-name focus groups.

  17. Made a good start on the net to keep Toby out from behind the telly. 😊 I reckon about a week or so of crochet should have it big enough to attach to the wall and drape down over the top, then I will extend the sides with extra netting. That's the plan anyway. We'll see how well it works out. Until it's ready, the nightly battle with Toby with continue 🥴

  19. It's bath time! 😂

    I spray mist the parrots every two days and Ziggy quite often will then bathe in her water bowl like this, spluttering and sneezing.

  21. When version seven of #Toby #Doom comes out, I will do a livestream with Tony and @storm where we'll be playing it, in which I will mostly be learning.
