It's been a year and a half. I guess their still scared. My apartment is tiny and I had the fire alarms go off three times. I never heard anything so loud. My fire alarms are the type that attach to the rest of the building so if someone has smoke in their apartment to goes off in my apartment to. It's a horror. The birds were horrified. I buy them a lot more shredding toys then I used to and like I said when Dorian sees me he runs to the perch attached to the outside of the cage so I can rub his head.
