The mad kissing macaw: watch for tongue...

The Kissing Macaw: she likes new friends....

Oh, she's happy now, she's got someone who she can kiss and cuddle with as the expression on her bird face indicates...

Sky doesn't like toys or cages or ladders (I know) what she really enjoys is being up close and far too personal with people.

With the intelligence of at least a three year-old human child, although she is 8 now in bird years, she scares some but she is really a gentle creature.

Sky wouldn't leave our guest alone, but she got a kick out of it. This was her first close encounter with a large bird with a large beak. But it wasn't the beak Sky was using that day...

What a schmoozer....

Now it's time to get depart, but Sky knows how to hang on and she gave some trouble about getting down...but then one last kiss...with the tongue...

After several minutes of trying to get Sky to get back on her chair, she finally did comply, because her mama said, "sit" and then she got a round of "good girl" for being such a sweety pie.

The woman pictured in this post is Arin Rogers, a massage therapist. I'll give her business a plug here, it's "Arin's Irish Healing" and she comes to your home, table and all. She practices "Swedish massage" "deep tissue" and adds some aromatherapy, candles and healing music. She travels around the valley and can be reached at 661-427-3526.
