Hi Alyx!
Thank you for replying! I'm so happy that I found this site! Thanks for the kind words, its great to hear those things from another Green Cheek owner. It doesn't make me so alone! or worried that we got involved in something that is a huge committment and the last thing I want to do is regret it!... OK, so now the good stuff! (what a day!... so glad its over!) Stella actually brightened my day as soon as I got home! I came in, unlocked the cage door and within 30 seconds Stella joined me in the kitchen. He flew directlly onto my shoulder! He started saying "wash up" and I turned on the faucet, he had a bath! All is perfect right now as I sit & type this message to you, he's quietly on my shoulder all happy! My fiance comes home around 11:00pm tonight so we'll see what happens! But I think I learned alot today about backing off when I see signs that he's going to bite... Last night he must have had a blast with me because everytime he puffed himself up... I went nuts on him!... NOT in a harmful way but in a freakout kinda way! Moms yellin! woohoo!... (LOL) and those were the times I was determined to get him on my finger! One of my friends is a groomer and told me that Parrots get a kick out of that sort of human behavior. They enjoy it when they a rise!
Of course now I sit and laugh about it. The emotions with this bird is something else! I didn't expect to deal with me crying in the morning and all lovedovey with him in the evening.....
So thats my update! We'll see what happens over the weekend. I think it will all be fine, now that I know a heck of alot more about the rules! LOL
Thanks for your reply, it makes me feel so much better!

Marilyn... Stellas happy Mom tonight!
