Determination

Dear Piper,

I admire your gritty determination and hard will that makes you want to fight the odds to get a blue berry from your bowl at the top of the cage all the way down to me, but we need to have a talk.  Not only are you leaving a trail of smeared blue berry from the top of the cage on down, it's a little bit creepy.  You stop and stare intently at me while chewing at your blueberry.  If I turn to look at you, you stop and just stare right back at me until I go back to what I was doing.  You obviously don't want attention, you obviously don't want me to snuggle you or pick you up, so what do you want?  Do you just want to stare at me while you eat?  It's kind of stalkerish actually.  Please eat up on the top of your cage with your food, I'm really tired of scrubbing blueberry and other things off the side of the cage.

Also I hope you're prepared!  The new fid arrives tomorrow and there's going to be some changes to the house. I hope you like him, I hope both of you get along and become friends.  If not I promise I won't make you jealous.  You'll still be getting all sorts of love and snuggles from me every day!
