Joshua Has Visitors



Joshua Loves Claudia

 Joshua is still very shy about stepping onto a hand.  However, he is not bashful about giving "kisses".  We humans call them kisses but to Joshua, he is just trying to get fed or feed his perceived mate!  "Sharing food" is a mate-bonding experience.  Since Josh feels insecure, he calms himself and requests assurance by exhibiting this behavior.  He gets regular visits from Claudia while her dad, Hermann, recovers from a health issue.  Joshua misses Hermann and says his name as if to ask for him.  Lucky for me Joshua loves Claudia just as much. 

Joshua now has full wings and will fly about the living room with ease.  He landed on the highest Atom yesterday and would only come down for Claudia!  Birds feel safest when they're above the fray.  Josh saw absolutely no reason to come down.  He would have stayed up high for the whole day!  I had to run errands and couldn't let him stay aloft.  Claudia used her wiles and some juicy grapes to lure him down for some up close face time.  Thank you Claudia!
