Elrohwen: I remember that story about Otto; that’s so cute!
When I go into the bedroom at night to get ready for bed, Hodari will usually just glance at me like she couldn’t care less, but then she’ll suddenly do a head binky and spring over to the door of her cage so I can kiss her goodnight. It always makes me laugh because she seems so disinterested, but it’s like she’s teasing me because then she does this big, silly, shrugging “head binky.”
Like: “Hmm, all right. I guess I’ll let you kiss me, Mom!”
When she gets out of her cage in the morning, she surveys the entire bedroom and bathroom for any changes. If anything is different from the day before, like the laundry basket has been moved, or something, she tip-toes around the area until she’s sure everything is safe. Also, if she hears a noise that startles her, like my DH blowing his nose or the phone ringing, she’ll do a head binky as soon as she realizes she’s heard that sound before. It’s as is she’s sighing in relief, and saying “Oh, silly me!”
