Well, she's pooping on me, does that count? ;-)

Exactly! That's exactly how it seems! She's doing this with her facial
feathers fanned over her beak. I understand that that behavior is in
some contexts a submissive thing and in other contexts a friendly sign
or one of contentment.
She's got a really sweet disposition and I'm not the least regretful over
getting her, although having to vacumn the floor around the cage three times
per day is a bit much. (heh...) She's knocking some of her food out of the
cup and plays with the litter I put in the tray at the bottom of the cage.
I expected the mess, though, so it doesn't bother me.
