Tango The Tantrum Thrower!!

As some of you know my wife and I don't have children. However I am not so ignorant that I've not heard of parents talking about the 'terrible two's'. Well Eclectus parrots have the mindset of a two year old..... and with this comes the tantrums!!!! For example this morning we had tradesmen coming to do some repairs (this can be another post!). Anyway, as they were coming early, Tango couldn't have his usual amount of time out of his cage at breakfast time. This resulted in a huge amount of noise and wing flapping!!! 

No amount of me talking to him through the bars would quieten him down. My wife had just finished a 12.5 hour night shift, so she's currently trying to sleep while the tradesmen are working and Tango is screaming. He also throws the odd tantrum if he doesn't get quite enough sleep..... Ahhh the joys!! lol

On a brighter note! Here's Tango in a good mood on his new play gym that he got just the other day. It's made from Australian native timber, so he can chew away till his heart's content and he won't get sick. It's sturdy, but also small enough so we can move it from room to room, depending on where we are. The play gym in these photos is sitting on our dinning room table, but we've also had him in the lounge room.

Tango having a taste lol

Tango doesn't know it yet.... But after the tradesmen leave, he's having a bath.. That's going to be fun for all I'm sure lol
