I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

Amadeus thinks my name is Baby and his is Bird (he responds to his actual name, too, but I'm pretty sure he thinks it's just a term of endearment).

Like many if not all bird owners I often tell him 'you're a good bird.'

Tonight he was snuggled up against my neck, all warm and soft, and busted out clear as day 'you're a good baby.'

How do we even deserve these beasts :kimchi:

Acclimate the bird to the perch. If bird wants Fun Time, bird better use the perch! Gloves also help if you can't make the perch work.

Grab the bullshit by the horns

So Sunny has picked up the most adorable habit, see, he's learned that I don't like having his poop on me, and has taken it upon himself to remedy that. He does this by using his beak to fling the crap in a random direction. Now every poop becomes a fun race for me to grab a paper towel before he flings it any which way. This made me have a fun conversation with my doctor when Sunny scored a bullseye in my ear. Birds.

It's a hybrid macaw which is another word for mixed breeding for colors. It's a mutt of a bird, but mutts can even be more awesome than the pure bred.

Edit: poster said it was a shamrock which means its a 1st Gen hybrid .

http://animal-world.com/encyclo/birds/macaws/HybridMacaws.php

Shamrock is the name of that specific mix given by the person who made the first one . It's exactly the same thing dog breeders do when they start marketing a new breed like "labradoodle"

In common terns it can be thought of as a breed. But macaw hybrids are not breeds as they are different species than their parents. They are a new species created by mating two other species, in the case of Bonny (shamrock/Rainbow macaw) she is a mix of Scarlet and Military.

Cricket calls me Baby...only me though. Its always "I love you Baby" or "Hey Baby"...

She calls my husband Birdie Bird lol The only time she says that is with him...I think its rather cute. She won't say it all day till he comes home then as soon as she sees his car or hears the garage door open she starts yelling "Hey Birdie Bird! " If she hears him on the phone she will start saying "Birdie Bird, Hey Birdie Bird"

She will not say Cricket though... it's always "birdie" She likes hearing her name though, but she will not say it.

Inko will try and lure me to uncover him or pay attention to him with a Hey Baby!/HEY BEEBEEEEE, but doesn't really directly refer to me otherwise. He constantly calls for Birdie though, listens when I say "birdie not here", ALWAYS (even if covered) greets Birdie coming in from work etc, and has said Hello Good Birdie! Yet I'm the only one still that can really hold and handle him, and give scritches etc

He likes telling (himself? us) that INKO GOOD BOY/GOOD BIRD/GOOD BIRDIE, or answer with INKO when asked Who Is a Good Boy?*

Both Inko and Steve can say Hey Tori! I wonder what it means to them though. Maybe they think it's just a regular sort of greeting since they hear it a lot. They seem to all know each others name, though.

*Yesterday they had to be covered up two hours earlier than usual, as we were going to be out super late and don't have lights that turn off or whatever. When it came time, I asked Inko as usual Is it Time? Time For Bed? Want Night Night? All of which he responds to with kisses, if it is indeed deemed by him to be time (he also kisses wildly if he's not covered when he wants, or at the normal time). So I'm asking, but because it's two hours earlier, he's just staring at me silently. I keep asking, he keeps staring. Then

:v: Inko, is it time? Time for night night?
:mad: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
:mad: Inko bird a good bird.
:mad: (silence ever after)

Anthropomorphising obviously, but it seemed like he was very angry that I was suggesting an early cover up, and that he hadn't been a bad boy-the only reason it could possibly occur early, right?-and expressed his anger and disapproval followed by affirming that he's a good bird, so no it isn't time piss off. Or maybe he was angry and then tried to appeal to me?

He's so sassy :3:
