Dino looks like a happy and contented birdie to me. He sure is super cute! My favorite pictures are of him hanging from your glasses and snuggled up against your neck. So funny and so sweet! What you mentioned about Dino being a snuggle bug some days and on some days being a wee monster, closely describes what my bird went through when she was going through the terrible two’s. She seemed to snap in and out of being hormonal every 2-3 days. Cleopatra was also 8 months old when she went through hers. Not sure if this is what Dino is going through, but just thought I would mention it. You seem to be developing a close bond with Dino. That is wonderful. And it is very smart of you to learn his body language. A lot of bites can be avoided from reading their body language. Have you picked up on what any of his whistles and chirps mean yet? Learning those comes in handy too! It sounds to me like the bond you have will Dino is just going to get better and better. It is amazing the deep bond you can have with these little guys when they come to realize that you love them and will never hurt them. On the close-up pic of Dino giving you a bite, what kind of wood is your tree stand made of? It is very cool looking!

Very glad you updated us on how Dino is doing and thanks for the pictures! I really enjoyed looking at them! We hope you and Dino keep in touch!

I am really impressed that you are learning Dino's language! It sounds like you are learning "Parrotletnese" really well! They love it when you answer them back! Dino has learned a lot of words for being so young! That is great! Poopy Poopy cracked me up. Oh, they are such little smarties! I will not be surprised if he picks up a lot more!

Wow! I cannot believe you only paid $68 for the tree stand! That is grrreat! I have seen some tree stands going for $500 which is outrageous when you think it is just made of branches someone cut off a tree! Thanks for the close ups of it – I love it! So it is grape wood - it is neat looking. Kind of looks like it came from another planet! lol ! I liked how you added toys for Dino to play with. He sure looks like he is enjoying it! You are doing a great job with him. You are not just a happy bird mama – you are really good bird mama! By the way, I found your tree stand on Etsy. I am going to order one in the near future! Thanks!
