a month has past since cookie has come to live with us. 2 more weeks of quarantine left!

cookie continues to show no interest in allowing me to scratch her head or touch her anywhere on her body. she sometimes allows some feet tickles, but not too much of that either.

she does, however, seem very comfortable to be around me. she still is okay with sharing her favorite toy with me, she takes nuts from me nicely (usually - i have to watch my energy levels when i approach her - the calmer the better!).

one thing that has changed a little is that cookie has become a little more vocal with me...which is great! usually she only makes noises when i jingle her favorite toy. now, when she feels like it, she will "talk" with me with her trills and funny calls.

i dont know if she likes her baths, but she just stands there with partly closed eyes and takes it. i use a mister that i pump and let it mist away on her. i give her a mist bath once a week on the weekend.

cookie likes apple juice - she will drink from a cup! (i give her the first sips). she loves to bite up the birdie kabob - made up of soft balsa or yucca wood. cookie loves pretty much any kind of nut or seed, although her least favorite so far are pumpkin seeds - maybe because they more healthy?

today was her first day out of the house. this weekend offered GREAT weather so we decided to make the most of it. i took cookie to her first softball game. it was at one of the parks that my husband used to umpire at. (he had to stay home this time due to the mounds of homework he has to go through). i think she had a great time. when the fans started to make a lot of noise, cookie joined in with her own noises. she watched intently to the activity going on, on the field, she perched on one foot as time went on, and then when she got enough sun, she moved closer to me, where my shadow overhung a corner of her cage.

a few minutes later we returned back home and i gave her a mist bath. i think it was a great cool down after a wonderful day at the park.
