Greetings Matisse! Happy Pet of the Day!

How perfecty named you are, Matisse, for you truly are one stunning, living piece of art! Your brilliant coloring is breathtaking, and that beak!!! I never knew the reason behind the varying parrot beak types, the frugivores vs nut eating parrorts, until today! Amazing, how you use your long beak to pierce fruits, extract their juices! That photo "The Drainer of FoodBudgets," you posing before that most enviable spread, that dizzying display of yummy offerings, your discering gaze, had me laughing out loud! More than a few kids are known for being picky eaters...what, where, when, how dished up, but you take "fussy" to a whole new level! What a hoot, what a character you are!

He will only eat apple and guava in a separate dish placed on his play stand. And only in the afternoon. And only if he sees me physically place it in the container, all the sudden it's something he wants to eat... I work from home. I had to eventually close the kitchen/dining room door because Matisse would climb down the cage, waddle through the front room, down the hallway, hook a left, knew exactly which door to go to, and would proceed to bang on the door until I opened i
Well, seems despite all that research your mom did re: the perfect parrot for her, she got just the opposite! lol Jealous, clingy, picky, demanding, quirky and moody...What's not to love? Yes, you may be a lot of "work," Matisse, but so well worth the effort! I know your human would agree when I say you truly are one in a million, Matisse, one beautiful, personality packed, enigmatic entertaining Eclectus...simply the best!

Thanks for the BIG smiles and laughs, sweetheart! Meeting you has been a real treat! I hope you're enjoying a very special day of celebration...stalking your mommy, chowing down on lots of tasty treats, served to your liking, "flying" about the house, being treated to all your heart desires and more! Lots of love, cuddles and *kisses* to you, adorable Matisse, our very special and most deserving Pet of the Day, EVERY day! Love to dear Lucy, too!

Seeds, seeds! Where are the seeds?
