Yesterday, we got a new coop for our last two chickens (we will get more in the spring) and since it was an all day thing, we decided that we would bring Cricket outside in her travel cage and have her spend the day outside with us. We set her under the tree in her travel cage and some toys, and gave her some apple and nutri berries etc and her bottle of water, and made sure she was pretty protected from any hawks and went to work. All we heard was "HEY BABY!!!" and "WhATCHA DOIN" all day long lol She seemed to enjoy it, but she has never been outside for longer than a few minutes getting to the car for a vet visit or to see her handraiser. So this was an all new experience for her. All in all, I think she had fun watching us...but she hardly moved at all off her perch, and refused to eat or drink. I think she was overwhelmed by being outside with the wild bird calls, a little breeze, honks of very angry old lady chooks who couldn't understand WHY we ripped down the only home they knew for their whole life, and just outside noise in general. She was out there from about 10-4, and then I brought her in cos the coastal wind we get was getting a bit strong for her imho. She didn't eat anything or drink the whole time that I could see her outside, but this am she was still the same weight so she must have gorged when she came inside and I left to go back out to the back garden. And she was rather annoyed that i would let her out even though she was using her little begging motions for me  Overall though she had a good day, I think, but she was upset more over not having had her one on one time as much as normal. Chickens are pissed off however, but at least they figured out where their new roosts were, and this am I had to go out and physically shove them through their new pophole and down the ramp so they could figure out to go down there to get to where their food and water is. Silly birds....love em but these two are definitely not in the IQ range of Cricket lol

Pneuma has a 6th Sense that tells him when a camera is in my hand. I'll never catch him with his eyes closed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTFvfw_4KSY I looked up how palm cockatoos sound when they talk. Considering that they can't fully close their mouths, it sounds like I expected.

I once met a bare eyed named BooBoo that loved to say, loudly, " HEWWWWWWWWWWO!" As his little version of hello. He would also demand to have a person say hello to him and do a dance. Awesome birb.

From the World Parrot Trust Facebook page, photo by Paul Balfe: This Sulphur-crested Cockatoo was not at all happy to find a Brush-tail Possum with joey hanging around near its nesting hollow. Shortly after this, the cocky gave Mother Possum a head butt on the backside, which caused quite a ruckus!

I suspect my Grey knew exactly what was going on and was just like, "Who loving cares. I've got this poo poo to chew up in my cage." Bird story: My grey has a habit of ripping out his water dish. No matter what I used, he found a way to yank it out. I finally got tired of it got one of those ceramic things that attaches to the cage by a bolt and wing nut in the back. No way he can get that off. Now, as a sign of protest, he has decided to fling ALL the food out of his food dish onto the cage floor. Every. Single. Crumb.

Just got Pearl back from five days at the bird hotel. Apparently all the greys there were continuously synchronizing and doing that beep of trucks backing up. She seemed completely unemotional about my presence at first, but then this evening she asked for a bath (shocking for her) and then made it clear she would be sitting on my leg until bedtime. I'm onto you, Pearl. It was very nice to catch up to all the birbposts here.

If I'm wearing a loose soft top like an old tshirt Crouton instantly migrates to the armpit which is a FORBIDDEN ZONE as apparently being in an armpit makes her go into full-on nesty biting mode. If I am wearing a nice stiff top like that one she happily braces in with her claws on the dress and her back against my sternum and contentedly surveys her domain. Galbedir is a boy and therefore non-bitey (unless confronted with nail clippers) so he is occasionally permitted to hang out in armpits and sleeves.

lol re:lovebird and boobs Cricket has started to discover the joys of climbing in my shirt. She doesn't do anything near as cute as the other shirt birds, but she will just go...traveling in and out the holes in my bird shirt lol In the armhole, in the neck hole, in the hole she made at the back ( sigh) She loves to swing from the hem or from the sleeve like a pendulum...so so strange lol At least I have a use for all these old nasty house shirts I have...the ones that are just not good enough to be seen in public with. Apparently they are now Bird Shirts!

It's the lack of cheek feathers, I think. Makes them look kind of like buzzards. Perpetually open (huge) beak doesn't help anything.

There is a woman in one of the dumb bird groups i follow on facebook who is bourgie as gently caress and has a pet black palm cockatoo, and she is crazy in the best possible way. As her bird has become a bit of a celebrity in the group, when she went on holiday to Vegas and Disneyland she took a cardboard cut out of her bird with her for photo ops, including taking it on a rollercoaster so there is now a photo of a lady on a rollercoaster holding up a cardboard black palm cockatoo.
