well i got a ipod for christmas. so far i think bebo likes it better than even i do!!
(if that is possible) he will sit for a long time while i show him the screen while i play bridge on my ipod. and if i open the door to his cage he will come out and try and fly to wherever i have my ipod! :) besides that perculiarity i think bebo is doing very well! he still does not like my hands but he has lerned what certain words/phrases mean such as bath, come, food, fun, NO!, leave the poor school paper alone, pretty boy, bite and ill bite you back! (just kidding) :rofl:
i think bebo is starting to trust me now! if i hold up his food dish he will hop onto it and start munching. Actually i think bebo is starting to get spoiled
EX: screech as loud as you possibly can and then mommy will come running back in the room to make shure you didnt hurt yourself. run along the bottem of the cage 10 times and she will open the big swingy thing that lets me out of my prison if i hop onto it and then crawl up to the top of my cage. try and imitate the kissy noises she gives me and she will squeel "oooooooohh thats sooooo sweet!!!!" and then she will give me a piece of millet. ring my bell 3 times in the morning and she will uncover me (which is actually kinda bad since she looks scary in the morning). splash in my water dish and she will hurry to go change the water. ok so he has me completely trained!!!
:rofl: btw i think bebo's color on his face is spredding!

O i almost 4got bebo just got tho a really bad feather plucking time. i didnt even know he was doin it untill one day he started stretching and i saw a LOT of bare skin under his wings :cry: well i started making toys for him and letting him out for more time everyday and it seems like he has stopped bcus when i look under his wings and where there used to be bare skin there is fluffy gray stuff on it. i dont think he even knows that its growing back!!!:)

iPod, huh? Don't tell my teenager! You GO, BEBO! Yep, Bebo's got your number and it happens to all of us. We're putty in their...beaks...feathers...? You get the idea. Sounds like you're doing great. Mine don't like my hands, either, but the trust is building. Just takes a while. Glad Bebo is doing so well. Wasn't it in November when he was going through a feather plucking and you took him to the vet, or is that a different incident. Have you ever posted any photos of him?? We go goo-goo for photos, as I'm sure you know!

It's great that Bebo's coming around so well, I know that Tango is very attracted to my laptop, I keep trying to explain that it's a people toy and that the birdy gym next to it is all his, he just doesn't quite get it. Don't sweat is to much about the hands, I've had Tango almost 7 months and he just started accepting hands and stepping onto my finger. Oh and the spoiled thing, that's pretty much the way it works, why just today Tango got two new toys and I bought him some avicakes to try, apparently they're a hit, I think it's safe to say he's got me perfectly trained.....

Bebo likes your ipod for the same reason Milo likes our remote control: In his little birdy mind, the fact that you keep picking it up and playing with it means it must be a really cool toy. So he has to go check it out, too!
