I have strict rules about this. Both Beeper and Sam had to learn some serious manners before they were allowed on the shoulder. They had to learn how to sit nice, and how to come right off without running from the hand or biting. There were times when neither of them was allowed on the shoulder.
But since they are rescues, I don't have any idea what they're previous experience with being on the shoulder is. They both wanted up there pretty bad - I'm assuming they're previous owners let them.
Originally, I wasn't going to let Sam up there. She's just so big. Her beak is right at my eye level, which is scary. But she has excellent manners, and just kept begging and begging, so I finally gave it a try last night. She's been very, very good so far.
How does everyone else feel about this?
