Plucking up courage

I managed to achieve something yesterday, that I`ve been trying for quite a while, so I felt really chuffed about it.

No, it wasn`t me that had to pluck up courage to do something it, it was my little bird.

For a few weeks I`ve been trying to get him to sit on my hand to eat some treat seed. Now, this is something that he really likes, and although he`s been tempted to try, and has taken the odd seed or two off my hand by stretching his neck out as far as it will go, yesterday, he actually ended up sitting on my hand to eat it, and stayed there for several minutes as he tucked in.

It was such a thrilling feeling.
