Well I just wanted to share that Mijo ROCKS! and I'm so glad he came to live with us.
He's in Quarantine and the only room available is our bedroom. His cage seems much bigger now that it's in our room next to our bed :omg: . Anyway, when I woke up this morning, Mijo decided to come down on the bed to visit. This was the first time he'd done it and it was cute to watch him. He walked up and down the bed, bit a hole in our sheets and eventually fell off the bed despite my warnings :rofl: :rofl:. He's not flighted so I had to pick him up, football style and put him back on his cage. He doesn't know how to step up. He hates the stick/dowel and I'm not confident enough to use my hand to practice :eek:. Funny though, I'll stick my whole head and face in the cage to give him beaker kisses :D.
Mijo loves to chatter away and it's amazing how many things he says. I think it's the funnest part of having a second hand Grey. He says hello in countless different voices. I'm sure it's from the hundreds of people who walked up to him in the petstore and said hello to him. I'm always trying to understand and figure out the things he's saying.....Mijo isn't too fond of my husband and if he's in the room, Mijo will not say anything. The only reason my husband even believes Mijo knows any sounds is that his phone ringing, whistle blowing, car alarm sounds can be heard all the way in the living room :rofl: :rofl: .
Mijo loves chewing on things. He loves these little blocks I bought on the mainland to make your own bird toys. He chews them up in about five minutes. He also figured out how to take off the plastic food clip this morning and has been chewing on it. I can't believe he spent all those months in the petstore with nothing to chew on.
Mijo hates his fruits and veggies. I've gotten him to eat egg and chicken. It was funny this morning because I clipped some brocolli on the plastic food clip and he was trying to chew through it to get to the clip. He would bite a big chunk of brocolli and then spit it out like a 3 year old who hates something he's bit into :rolleyes:.
I'm hoping to get pics of him this weekend to share. He's one beautiful guy :)
