Playing Catch Me If You Can With Yue

     Our daughter has a black lovebird. Not a black masked lovebird, a black lovebird. She went through a stage a few years ago where she loved anything black. At one of the bird shows we went to, we came across the black lovebird. It was instant love between the two of them. Since Birdman was delighted that she was finally interested in a bird we gladly added him to our flock. Our daughter promptly named the bird Yue. Yue joined Sweetie Pie as one of our indoor birds. 
     Our daughter began hand training Yue. Yue doesn't mind stepping up on command. He just doesn't like staying on your finger for more then two seconds. Yue enjoys his time out of the cage. He explores anything and everything. When he gets bored, he finds a place to perch and hang out with his buddy, Sweetie Pie. They remind me of two old men sitting on a park bench watching the world go by.

     One of Yue's favorite games to play is "Catch Me If You Can". Part of his training includes sitting on shoulders.  I'm not 100% sure who was training who.  Yue always has our daughter "chase" him about the room three times before allowing himself to be placed on her shoulder.  Yue is very particular about which shoulder he sits on.  If you place him on your left shoulder, he walk across your chest so he can sit on your right shoulder.  If you place him on your right shoulder, he immediately settles down and will stay until it is time to go back into his cage.
