When Pele and I engage in our mutual grooming regime (far to many times a day for my liking), there seems to be an imbalance with the 'mutual' bit- shouldn't it be a two way time share?

 

I often bring this to Pele's attention who just refuses to see my point, swears that I am incorrect and unreasonable!  Pele seems to think that 20mins of non-stop 'receiving' is appropriately repaid by one tug, of one strand of hair, then its back to Pele's turn, whereas I think 20mins received should amount to at least 5mins of giving.

Perhaps someone else can decide who is right and who is wrong?

Count yourself lucky I get no return grooming from the big guys but the little ones play with my hair with little or no return from me

Personally, I could do wihtout the grooming from the big guys, its more like my hair is being ripped out by the roots!

They grab handfuls and tug and pull, even my hairdresser has commented that the ends of my hair are much tattier than he has ever seen before!! LOL

With an Umbrella Too that picks your cuts and scabs a Hahns Macaw that picks your nose and a Jenday Conure that picks your teeth I could do without any grooming!!
