Thank goodness Earle is back in his cage now.
I have been the whole day watching him, losing him, watching him, losing him....
At one point he found one of the many holes in the tree and of course... went inside.
This wouldn't normally worry me...but this is a really big tree (trunk is over 5' across) so entering into it is probably like going into a maze. I don't know exactly how many hollow spots it has...but Earle was gone for over two hours. My neck is killing me from looking up.
About 2 this afternoon I spotted him sunning himself on a large limb. I called to him, he casually looked my direction acknowledging my presence....but then completely ignored me after that.
About 4:30 he got hungry enough to come down (took his sweet time about it, real teenager like).
Anyway, I put him in his cage....he ate pretty good...then I got him out for his walk. He likes to ride on my shoulder while I walk around the property. I took him back to his cage...and he was acting anxious to go up the tree again.
I will continue this regiment everyday (weather permitting) until he doesn't come back down anymore.
So....we made it through today....and we will see what tomorrow brings.
I'm pulling for Earle.
