So when is it that you live with someone for a sufficient period of time to become familiar enough to be, well, less formal. Are there rules about that kind of thing?
Anyway, I came to the realization that after living with Edgar for more than 3 years now, it's just a bit too formal to keep calling him Edgar. So, I am trying to get both he and I used to me calling him Eddie. Of course, to you who don't know him, he will still be King Edgar. But to those of you who have made his acquaintance, as long as he likes you, you may call him King Eddie.
I, personally, believe that I have earned the priviledge to simply call him Eddie. After all, I do submit to all his demands for head-rubs, the changing of his food and water, as well as clean his cage, and allow him to ride on my shoulder, arm and hand all around the apartment. I think that should give me some right to familiarity.
But never fear, for those of you who meet him in person, whether it's for the first time or not, there is no need to bow before him. Just make sure to show the proper amount of respect. And if you think calling him King Edgar or King Eddie is just too much, you may call him Your Majesty. At least in his presence.
