Great weekend for Lola!

Memorial Day weekend has proven to be Lola's weekend! I had a personal emergency on Saturday, so was unable to spend much time with her. She was allowed out of her cage, but did not get any "training time" or time on her play stand since I am the only one who can bing her out of her cage,and I  wasn't home. She spent a few hours outside on Sunday, while we washed cars, BBQ'd, and enjoyed the sunshine. Lola LOVED talking to the other birds, and ruffling her feathers at the wind.

Today was Memorial Day so we were not home for about 10 hours. When I arrived home and opened her cage,  she came right out for kisses and snuggles. Than she "stepped up" on the FIRST ask, and traveled to her outside cage so she can spend some time watching the sun set with the rest of the family. This was her first time, stepping up the first time it was asked. It usually takes about 6 minutes of convincing to get her to step up from her cage. So this was fantastic!

After spending a couple of hours outdoors, she came back in to her cage. I decided to try and see if she would do her two tricks.... AND SHE DID, from her cage, with visitors over, and dogs barking, etc! She "waved" and "turned around" on command every time it was asked! She must've been very happy to see me after an exciting weekend, because she did everything when asked the first time. 

what a great weekend for Lola!!
