Audrey, we ended up with Roger because he did the exact same thing with Helen, just jumped right up on her hand and climbed up to her shoulder. Then, I just couldn't resist him!!! We added Milly a bit later.

I do NOT trust any of my cats or dogs around them. When they are out of their cages, the door stays closed, and when we aren't in the office, we keep the door closed. I had a close call with Butter (one of our cats) one day. He pushed the door open (found out we had a bad fitting door knob). I ended up moving them to my office after that. Thank goodness the birds literally started screaming, so I jumped up and found Butter about to grab Milly. It scared me to death.

I love having birds, but I will be honest and tell you that they require more attention and make more mess than any of our other animals. But, having said that, I wouldn't trade them for the world. I love them dearly.
