Two For Today

[MeanDonnaJean]

Today "My Funny Zoey" (as I affectionately call her) did 2 things that astounded me.

First, she finally went in....and came out....then went back in.....then back out....of her bathtub....and on and on it went, over and over again as she first dipped one foot, then both feet, then her body, then her beak, then her entire face into the nice warm water and began to splash around like a lunatic. So comical! Normally she LOVES her regular showers but never ever would she go near the tub. Until today, that is. I was SO happy, I even had my son snap a quick pic.

Next, she actually let me touch her! She was bent over singin' her cute lil' chirpy song on top of her cage over and over as she does every day but suddenly she allowed me to touch her. I've tried a hundred times before, but today must have been my lucky day (and after longing for this since I got her in July, you can bet that I took full advantage of the fact, too). I kept on pettin' her soft silky head as she quietly sang to me. My heart damn near melted like butter.

I'm hopin' that it'll only get better from here.

That's great.

As I was telling my birdies today - 20 years ago I would never have believed how much I could love birdie babies.

The interaction will just get better, you will have many heart melting moments!
