Message From Pennsylvania
Pat, Theresa and "Maxx" are settling in. We got this message today:
Hello Debra. He had a good first night. He ate apples all the way home from the airport. He stepped up on my hand and let me stroke him. We didn’t handle him for very long because of the trip and knew he would want to get a drink. When he went into his cage he sat quietly on the highest perch for a while then systematically went around inspecting and testing each of his toys. He then went to town on his dry food mix and had a good long drink. He settled on the high perch again and, since It was late, we covered his cage so he could get some sleep. He seemed a bit put out by the cover but settled down quickly enough and we didn’t hear anything else out of him.
This morning we gave him his fresh fruit and veggie breakfast but he didn’t seem interested in it. He ate a couple of apple pieces but that was it. He has been steadily working through the dry mix and the jambalaya mix all day and plays with his toys a lot. He watches everything but has been silent the whole time…except for once. This afternoon a Prince rock & roll song came on and he began to sing along. When the song was over he went back to being quiet. Good grief, he is a Prince fan.
By the way. I thought his name was Caesar and Theresa thought it was Sam but when he got here he made it clear that his name is Maxx.
