Bailey let me scratch his head!!

Wow, I'm pumped!!
I've never been so happy to pet a bird before!! I've had this guy for over a year now, he's 14(approximately) and he's really been coming out of his shell and learning a lot of new words in our voices. He normally pulls the bait and switch thing, where he lowers his head and then when I get close he tries to bite me, but not this time. It's been a long time coming.
I just had to share that!

But some emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard to hear pride. Caring is real faint - like a heartbeat. And pure love - why, some days it's so quiet, you don't even know it's there.

That is so exciting. I have a grey that wants me to do it all the time and one that wants me to do it when he wants me to. So this is a step in the right direction. Keep up the good work.
