Rio loves to take a dust bath on my head. I felt she landed on my head, so took some pictures. I did a little bit of research on internet and found out that in well-watered areas bathing is most common, in arid ones dusting is more often observed.

Rio doesn't need a plate for shower or bath anymore. She now sneaks in my hands where she can find the tap water running from the faucet. This is a problem…Why? because she doesn't want to come back in the bird cage even though she is thirsty. Now she jumps in my hands to take a shower and drinks water. I remeber she used to be afraid of the whole kitchen sink, but now she has no problem with it and aim for food and shower.

Already got back to hard training for the next fight, so my body is tired and sore from daily training. However, this little girl doesn't care about how much I am tired. I open a bird cage for good exercise and Rio comes to me and lands on my shoulder. She wants to play with me. I'm tired....sorry.

Rio is so cute! She loves to stay in my hand like her nest. I got pull up blisters, BJJ blisters and fist blisters on my hands, so there are so many spots to peck with her beak.

Wow! Rio finally made it! She took a shower and picked up food from a plate. I don’t use a skewer anymore because when I have a skewer in my hand, Rio looks so excited. I think rio thinks a skewer as mom's beak or something.

As you can see the picture above, I put a small box where Rio stays and left it for a while as I wish the mother finds her. If they meet together, I was ready to say good bye and get Rio back to the nature.

On my way to my car from Ogawa coffee, I found weaken sparrows. One of them died and another one was  so weaken. It was chirping and I felt so bad because it looked like this bird dropped from a nest above us.
