Here I go again with more pictures of Harley... she just loves being outside... especially for her showers.







Her innocent look:




With her big brother, Aulbrey:





Basking in the sun... spoiled little girl!




Tired after a long day!

She is a beautiful bird. She makes me think I want a cockatoo. She sounds like such a special girl. It's a shame she is so neglected!

I've gotta tell you Tom, she is one special little feathered lady. I don't know if any other U2s are like her, but she truly is an asset to my life. It is unbeliveable how she takes such good care of her mommy. I just try to do the same for her in return.
She is truly a gift.

She is absolutely gorgeous! She appears to be very gentle with your son. And he doesn't appear to be scared of her. That is wonderful. She looks like she is having a great time in the photos. Thanks for sharing!

Well thank you so much for your kind words!
I was afraid to post the pic of her with Aulbrey, actually because I didn't want to have a bunch of negative comments about having her so close to my children. However, Harley is very good with my boys. I think the fact that they help care for her really makes a difference.They spray her, they fill her food dish & change her water and play with her TONS. The best part is they really seem to enjoy helping to take care of her. She actually has a special call just for the kids to come over to her cage and talk to her. Heck, on Friday nights she's been known to climb up on the couch and flop down next to them, feet in the air, once they've fallen asleep in front of a movie... she does love her brothers.

Gorgeous photos, thanks so much for sharing! My boys love our birds as well, and they are learning to read their body language, interpret their needs, etc very well.

She is adorable and I am sure its such a chore for your little person to have to stand there and spray her down with a squirt bottle. I only wish I had such chores when I was his age. LOL
