This is how Miro gets away with ANYTHING!

How can you stay mad at a face like THIS-->


And, I thought THIS toy MIGHT keep him busy for at least a while. It is one of those 'Barrel of fun' toys that you hide a treat in, and the bird has to turn the handle and pull out a drawer to get it out....

This picture sequence is about 30 seconds- He figured it out right away.








Perhaps I should try padlocking it.....

And that's why I'm so very fond of Severes. They are smart and probably the most mechanical birds there are. He's just a doll.

I get suckered in by Eddie's cute little face, too--until he strikes at me from 3' away, aiming for the juglar and a quick kill! LOL!

Your Miro is adorable, and as smart as they come. I've read that Severes are one of the smartest (if not THE smartest) macaw species, and I believe it!
