Polly wanna cracker?

Lola LOVES unsalted crackers. So much so, that she jumped off of her cage and onto the dinner table to grab them from me. Like a child, she only likes what's not good for her!

She is still very unsure of "stepping up" from her cage. She usually goes back inside and hides. I have not been forcing the issue, and if she refuses to step up, I walk away and do something else. But today, she voluntarily stepped up even when she was hanging out on the tallest part of her open cage!

She's still not a huge fan of veggies. I am going to move her vegetable food bowl to be the highest  bowl in her cage, and see if that encourages her parrot instincts to eat some greens. 

On a much sillier note, she is talking up a storm! She coughs, sneezes, whines like the dogs, says Lola, "ok, ok bye" is a master of saying hello, and has even shouted the dogs names once or twice. None of this is prompted, and when we do ask for a word or phrase, she clams up. 

But it's funny to hear her monologues!
