This is one of my favorite things that Rocky does, but I have a hard time getting a good picture of it! My camera is not powerful enough to take a good picture from far away (hence the evil glint in Rocky's eye), and if I get too close, he just comes out to threaten me. He only does this for a portion of the year, so I have to enjoy it while I can.
At night, Thomas sweeps the floor really well. As soon as Rocky sees the broom, he runs down and hides under his cage. He then sings and laughs during the sweeping. As soon as the sweeping is done, he climbs into his cage and starts saying "Bye Bye!"
This next picture I took this morning. Rocky's been screaming pretty much non-stop, unless he has a box to chew. I gave him a new box this morning so I could get ready for work in peace. As you can see, he chewed an entrance hole in the bottom left of the box.
When I found him, he was inside the box and stuck his head out to look at me; however, when he saw me, he had to run over to threaten me, which is what he's doing here. Once I left him alone, he went back to his box.
By the time I left for work, he'd chewed through the entire front of the box. I'm sure it will be gone when I get home from work.
He's such a good nest-builder and very conscientious of Thomas and of his eggs. I bet he would have been a great macaw parent. It just breaks my heart that he's in my living room instead of the wild.
