Humphrey stepped onto my arm!!!
How happy am I? Humphrey has made so much progress in the last 2 days. He's been flying over to the sofa to be with me and my husband, climbing all over us, etc. He's done it loads of times before but he's been doing it so much more - probably because my husband and I are both home from work. Anyway, he was on the back of the sofa, looking down, and looking like he wanted to climb down but it was a bit too daunting. So, slowly, I put my arm up and....he stepped on!
You may remember that i"ve had Humphrey for nearly a year and just cannot get him to step up. Usually, he will run sideways or backwards when I try. He also stepped on my husband's hand and foot yesterday (my husband's hand was just 'there', he didn't offer it to Humphrey as I did with my arm). ANd just now, as I'm typing this, he's walking along my husband's arm I am so happy - this is a real breakthtough. He's climbed on us before but has never stepped on bare skin. I bet he'll be stepping up soon!! So happy, Michele and Humphrey

Brian, it's not that good yet - I can't actually hold him...it has to be on HIS terms. I wish he would step us and I could pet him...but maybe, someday. This is a BIG step. He stepped on my arm twice and my husband's arm and hand once. But he still won't let us touch him and he won't step up when I ask. STill, this is progress so one thing at a time! How long have you had your lovebirds?
By the weay everyone, got some pics of Humphrey on my lap! Will post them soon MIchele and Humph

I've uploaded some pics of Humphrey on my lap that we took today. How happy am I? About a year ago he was so terrified he would cling to the other side of the cage in terror if I approached the cage. Now he climbs all over our laps, and flies over to see us. My dear bird!

Humphrey is called a Princess Parrot or Princess of Wales parakeet. His Latin name is Polytielis Alexandrae. I think his other name is Rose Throated Parrot.
Here's one: http://birdingwa.iinet.net.au/birds/...ess_parrot.htm Michele and Humph
