"Now what was that you were saying ?
hmmmm"


Shower time

Awwww Yes.
He does LOVE his showers




The day we got Merlin he laughed all the way home
& hasn’t stopped since.

He has his own food bowl &
at dinner time he eats what we eat.
His favorite foods are:
Blackeyed Peas, Pizza & Lima Beans those are at the top
of the list (a list that is very long).
He knows when he is going to eat,
that’s when he paces his cage & says "Good Real Good."

He has a fairly large vocabulary 50% of which
we can understand. He enjoys calling our three dogs
& he knows them all by name.

Since we have a teenager, he knows "Jennifer telephone."

One of his favorite pastimes is
sliding down the leg of his cage & giving
the dogs or the kids a run around the room.

He loves to be held & have his head & neck rubbed.

I can ask him to show me how pretty he is
& he will spread his wings out, like ok I'm beautiful.
He also knows how to play dead bird while he is being held.
He won’t talk when we have company (of course)
so at least I can show them he knows how to do something.


Show me pretty


We are fortunate to have this wonderful bird.
No matter how bad your day goes, he is right there
with a good Merlin laugh & it never fails to make us smile.
