Birdie Boot Camp - Day 1

I received some great advice from one of my aunt's regarding "George". I've had George for over a year now and have been unsuccessful in teaching him to trust me. Basically I found out that I have to force him to like me! So today is the first day of birdie boot camp for "George". I took him into the small bathroom and let him out of his cage for him to start flying around. The trick is to not let him land anywhere except on my finger or on me. He was really stubborn and persistent but so was I. Ultimately he started giving in. I spent about an hour with him and he is learning that he can trust me and sit on my finger. He even found a spot in my hair that he enjoyed sitting in. My sister Janice also had the "privilege" of holding him. This is a milestone in me and "George's" life. I think after a few days of doing this with him, he will finally like me whether he likes it or not!

Let's give it a shot

Apparently, blogging is "the thing" to do to keep people updated on what's going on in life. My sister and my sister-in-law have blogs that I enjoy reading just to see what they have to say about whatever is on their minds. So...I thought I might give it a try. However, at this point in time, I don't have an exciting, action-filled life so it will be difficult to come up with something to blog about. But I do have things that to pop in my mind out of the blue so I will try to use those to blog with, not to mention those "blonde streak" moments I have that we all enjoy!

Interesting enough, something to blog about just occurred. Thanks God! Okay, as you may know, I have been "nomadding" for the last few months. At this time, I am staying at my sister's house and sleeping on her couch. With me, I brought my parakeet which Hayden has named "George". Poor George has been cooped up in his cage since atleast July and not been able to spread his wings and fly. Today I thought I would open his cage door to see if he would feel comfortable to come out and get some exercise. I didn't think he would since he doesn't reallyknow this house yet. Well, I guess I was wrong. The bird has flown the coop! Momma is so proud!
