hi

this is Jake and his passion for food!!!

"oh go on then Jake"


"one bit for you, and a bit for me!"


"Mmmm yum yum"


"is that nice Jake?"

[Admin]

that does look tasty!! Jake is a bird that knows what he wants and how to get it

[alexandra]

he sure does!! he was munching on a strawberry nutrigrain bar!!

sometimes he will try and take the food from your mouth before you get chance to chew it!! ...............cheeky little boy!!

[Scully]

looks like Jake has your other half twisted round his beak

[alexandra]

i think so too Mike is really happy now Jake likes him! Jake used to be a one person bird as Mike had to catch him with a bird net a few times (before he was hand tame). We used to let him out even though he wasnt that reliable to go back in on a perch, i didnt want him to become cage bound! he took a while to tame!

now he's real friendly, but STILL wont let anyone touch him

[judy]

mmm its always a fight when you have a bird on your shoulder and some food in your hands. lol

[alexandra]

yeah, they try and pinch anything!! Jake tries to pluck eyebrows sometimes

[chickabee]

LOL...ummm has anyone really worked out the best way to clean up the shoulder crumbs??...errr do you hope they keep eating the left overs or do you kindly pick up each tiny bit and present in front of beak or is it a quick flick on to the lounge/floor or ummmm waste not want not.... eat the crumbs yourself #tongue# suppose it depends if the crumbs are still yummy #rolleyes#

[alexandra]

lol i try to get jake to eat the crumbs, failing that i do a quick flick onto the floor and if he notices "i'll hoover it up in a minute!!" and hope he stops moaning!
