Freddie and I miss Johnny a lot (I doubt the Quakers and Benjy have even noticed he's gone), but the good news is, Freddie needs me again. He used to be quite affectionate and sat on my finger and watched TV with me and when he got a tiel buddy, I ceased to exist for the most part. The two of them would still do heart wings and whistle for me and so on, but they were busy and didn't bother with me a lot.
Now Freddie follows me around, sits nearby, steps up (he won't stay on my finger long, but he wouldn't step up AT ALL before), lets me kiss his back, his wings and his head whenever I want to, and is very anxious to get my attention if I'm not interacting directly with him. He does heart wings all the time now. He even risked Clyde's wrath to sit on my head when Clyde was on my shoulder (and Clyde pulled his tail and chased him away, LOL). He has perfected his Rocky impersonation and I heard him working on the Andy Griffith theme this morning after I had been in their room to say good morning. He's been able to whistle that since he was a baby, but he's quite off-key. This morning, it sounds much better. He's been practicing.
