Cocoa is definitely a charmer. She'll sit pretty and watch the action going around our house. In the morning she will start up the early chatter to make sure everyone is up and okay. She is still in quarantine so she stays in our bedroom but she can hear the birds in our birdroom and does everything to make sure that they hear her. she will gladly converse back and forth for a few minutes. during the day she will get some attention on and off from myself or my husband (who she likes more) and just loves to pass the time around you.

if she doesn't see you but she hears you speaking, she will try to get your attention. she doesn't seem to be afraid of people walking around her, but i'm still not sure how she is around kids. she loves attention, but in terms of interacting with young humans....not sure.

just to put it out there, Cocoa has bitten me once. It was after my husband and i came home from a very long day and she probably felt upset that she had to stay cooped up in her cage all day. I took her out on a wooden perch, and she stepped up and walked a little too quickly to my hand and she bit down. I kinda thought that was going to happen, so I did a little wobble of the perch and she stopped. i gave a quick firm "no" and i put her back in her cage. no more attention that night. it was not the worst bite i've gotten - it barely left a mark - but it does remind me that although she is a rather friendly, she does need to be respected and body language needs to be heeded, no matter what.
