Parrots in Aviary & Taking Kili to the Street Carnival

Saturday I had some time on my hands so I let Kili and Truman into the aviary together for the first time and sat in there for an hour watching them. Mostly the just played but they had a bit of a fight at the end. Still a lot to sort out before I can leave them alone.

Since last Thursday I've been taking Kili on walks to the local street carnival. It's a good way to desensitize her. Several videos and pictures in the article.

Wow! That aviary looks like so much fun for those two. Kili reminds me of my Senegal, Sammy. He's really bratty sometimes and isn't the greatest at sharing. He even takes on my African Grey from time to time. And the funny thing is, the Grey backs down.

What a great idea to bring Kili to the carnival for exposure. You guys look like you had a good time. Love the part about the girl getting bit. You're right about "no blood" bites. They can hardly be classified as a bite at all. Good learning experience for her for sure.

TV should be in Kili's future. I am surprised that The Tonight Show hasn't contacted you yet. There's a place on their website to recommend an act. Maybe we should write in and get you on there! You need to be recognized in the US and not just overseas.

BTW-I got a forwarded email yesterday from somebody that said "This guy is great! You've gotta see this parrot!" It was your YouTube video of the 20 tricks. Don't know where he got it, but that forwarded email had a long, long line of forwards behind it.

Haha, that's great. I pretty much had to turn down an offer to appear on the George Lopez Tonight Show because Kili's wings are still really bad. She finally got a second primary molting in recently and just yesterday it broke so she's back to just a single primary with no foreseen prospects of recovery. She can still fly but it's really hard for her so she's not enthusiastic about doing it on cue like she used to. And I don't push her cause right now I want her wings to mend. I even took her to the vet about it today. I'll try to post about that later.

It may have been challenging to assemble, but the aviary looks very nice, especially with the toys and perches and Kili and Truman inside. I really enjoy the videos that you include with your posts.
