        Sleebee sounds like a doll! Why won't she let Alice pick her up?
        Is she scared of the bird? My husband was like that with Koko at
        first, i told him you have to risk the nips and let him know who's
        in command. It worked... in fact he goes to him more than me (that
        rotten little $%^*!) When he's talking to himself he will say 
        "Up! Up!" and lift his foot like he's being picked up (Koko, not
        my husband). 
           Koko also calls the dog or cat "C'mere!" then when they come
        over he bites them! If he sees you petting the dog he will start
        barking, or if it's the cat, he will meow until you give him
        attention too.
           That's interesting that you have had such good fortune with a
        "used" parrot... Koko is also "used." Seems like most people want
        a baby one (like they want a puppy instead of a grown dog); maybe
        they think that the bird won't bond to them if it's older. Guess
        we are living proof that that isn't so!
          Nice blapping with you too!
