I keep a little Japanese tea cup on Juba's big play table and a small 
whiffle ball. Sometimes I hear that ball bouncing over and over again 
into that cup. I go in there and there is Juba just repeatedly bouncing 
the ball into the cup. It either means "Mom, come in here and let's do 
some tricks" or "I want a pine nut." Probably both. Anyway she usually 
gets both. 

She also sits on the door knob of the door to the garage about the time 
I usually take her to the fly building. That's the only time she sits there 
and she never sits on other door knobs. It's pretty hard to change your 
schedule or neglect your birdie-entertainment-duties with that little 
timekeeper around.

Oh, btw, Kevin, Red Bellies are just the best...so playful, so smart, and 
so friendly with everyone. Probably all poi's are, like Mona's Babylon 
Senegal, but my experience is with Red Bellies. She constantly 
amazes me with her antics and intelligence and how quickly she learns 
things.

Sure glad that little bird didn't get hurt in that doorway. I don't know if I 
could have stood it.
