I am realizing that I have forgotten a lot about how to play.
I was playing with Silver for a little while. I realized that playing with a bird can be a lot by playing with a baby.
So, I played a game with him where I asked him if he'd let me touch his nose. Then I would approach with my finger. As it got close, he beaked it, and I took it away. Then, I did the whole thing all over again: asking him, moving the finger, taking it away when he beaks it. So, he gradually let it get closer and closer before he would beak it. I was thinking about how I used to do that with my baby: let her know something was going to happen, and then play with how long it took the thing to actually happen.
I'm also realizing that I had to change "she" to "he" and "her" to "him" all over the last paragraph. Why do I keep calling Silver a she?
