My Plan Seems to be Working

Three days ago I moved Caesar's cage from the office/bird room into my bedroom. My theory being that:

1. He would be getting better sleep because I am up on the computer late.
2. Even though I would be asleep he would still be spending more time with me.

I shoot for at least four hours out of cage with him per day. Technically I could have him out more, but I don't want him to get used to being out of his cage the majority of the time only for me to start clinicals and him to get stressed because his out time is cut down.

So far since the move he seems to be in a much better mood and is actually seeking me out for attention. Today I was in a pretty bad mood myself so I spent most of the day in bed. He climbed down from his cage and walked across the room to the bed and stepped up for me very nicely. Then we bummed around and watched Twilight.

He decided that he wanted to go back to his cage. He crouched and put his wings up, I encouraged him to go hoping that he would figure out that he can indeed fly. He acted like he was going to make the attempt several times but never did.

I have a box fan next to my bed of course it as well as all other fans are off when the birds are out, well Caesar decided that it looked interesting and before I could grab him started climbing it. He climbed to the top of it and when he realized it was slippery he panicked and flew across the room. Unfortunately he flew in a bad direction and crash landed in my laundry basket. Thankfully it was a soft landing and he wasn't hurt. I just wish he would get his confidence up and figure out the whole flying thing lol.

He stepped up nicely for me again and we hung out a while longer until my parents got home with groceries. I had to go unpack them and start cooking. I left him on my bed while I went out to get them. When I came back in my room and he saw me he put his wings up and thought about flying to me but didn't. I went over to him and he stepped up nicely for the third time. I put him back in his cage and went to work on supper. By the time I was done with that it was really too late to let him out again since birdy bedtime was pretty quickly approaching. When I fed the turtle and said good night to him before turning out the lights, Caesar put his head down for me to rub it. He doesn't typically do that for me so yep, I think it's safe to say his opinion of me is improving and I couldn't be happier about it.

Oh and just to add, it's day two and he's still not convinced he should eat the TOP. *sigh* I really hope he comes around soon. I don't want Liz to know she wasted her money and the only other option is to go to Petco and buy a bag of Zupreem.
