Here's my subject again... (For some reason, Magic was busy snuggling around inside my jumper and Phoenix was preening my hair when I took this, so no parrots in the pic today...)
I know exactly what you mean about the conures snuggling Allie. When Angelina first comes out of her cage, she plays, wrestles, nibbles, annoys, climbs and scrambles for an hour or two. After that she settles in under Tim's arm as he sits in his chair and we forget she is there. She seems to know when it's play time and when it's time to settle down.
@murnane Aw! That sounds lovely :) Angelina sounds quite the social little character :) Magic can't sit still for more than about five minutes at a time (unless she actually falls asleep!). Phoenix will sit on my head for quite a while when the mood takes her, otherwise she likes to bask in the sunshine on her window seat :)
