Tabitha has been feeling MUCH better after her chemo has ended and her hair is growing back, so much she has finally been returning Pippin to his routine after I have cared for him for over a year now. Now he expects "papa" to feed him and do certain things like play on the floor with him with his cockatoo toys.
This week as she brought him outside to wait for me to come home from work, he started shouting PAPA!!!!! PAPA!!!! when I pulled into the driveway.
I come in and sit down in the chair and for the first time, he hopped into my lap for pets. Small steps with a cockatoo, small steps.
Marzy is a happy man.

That had to be a great feeling of happiness for all three of you! !
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

As a part of his routine now, he demands Paapaaaaa come out and pet him every afternoon now.
I hope one day that he will be my buddy, too.
I want him to sit in my lap and we watch TV together like Roxy does.
