LOL...it DOES sound like you have a lot of experience! I noticed that when I was reading past posts and your replies, so I thought you'd be able to help. My last cockatiel and senegal loved cuddling and skritches, so I miss that. Kiki doesn't particularly care for towels though - when she had an infection, the vet gave me drops to put in her nares. I had to towel her to do that so she's not fond of it! I try to put it on her when not trying to clean her nares or clipping but she quickly comes out from it. So forget peek-a-boo! I'll keep trying though. Thanks again for the advice. I've thought about getting a Meyers but I didn't know if I would be neglecting Kiki and if I should give her more time? What do you think? Thanks, as always, for your great advice! PS What kind of fids do you have?
