What?

This whole week Martin has been home with me. Michele is home a lot of the time, but some times she has to go to work. It turns out Martin had to have an operation. I hope he didn't have to go the the same vet I went to last time. I wonder if they grabbed him and held him in a towel? Anyway, it's been nice to have both of them and I've been feeling quite affectionate for my flock. I've found out that rubbing my head on Martin's thumb and arm feels really good. I climbed up and snuggled with Michele a bit yesterday when she was taking a nap, too.

Today Michele came home and I was excited to see her, but I was even more excited to see her when I saw she was carrying a bag from Pets at Home! That can mean only one thing - she's been to Pets at Home and the bag contains toys, treats, or both, all for me! And I was right. However...one thing leaves a bad taste in my beak. I heard Martin and Michele talking and they were being really quiet, trying not to let me hear. I heard Michele say that Pets at Home no longer sells Kaytee Honey Treats for parrots! What the ?!)*_)%^ They are the best treats in the world! Michele did give me another honey treat, and it was quite good....but not the same. I did hear Michele say she'd try to get some from America. I don't know where that is but I hope she can get me some honey treats soon.
