She's convinced I adore her exploring my arm and sitting on my wrist grooming.) I'm not afraid of them but I have a very healthy respect for those fangs. And to be perfectly honest, I'm terrified of them leaping off me and injuring themselves and it being my fault. I do allow my avic and my baby rosea more leeway then the others simply because they demand it.  My rosea likes to half hang over her enclosure. Acts like she's watching when I do maintenance. So I let her. Alertly, but I do allow her to hang out there. And my avic...well it's an avic and adorable. So on rare occasions when I'm 'window washing' I don't shak her away and let her sit on my wrist and groom a bit.</p></blockquote><p></p>
