I will fight you for it.

This is probably a good way of safe-keeping your valuables. I would be much less interested in a fancy diamond ring if it was inside a living, enraged cockatoo.

PS Judah somehow shat out the bars of his cage and onto the cat today which I was kind of impressed with.

Lorikeets have gross watery poops because of their nectar diet too :gonk:

After years I'm completely okay with parrot poop, to the point that I don't quite understand why visitors aren't okay with it. The bird will go over and hang out with the new exciting person and inevitably goes to the bathroom somewhere and the person acts like their entire world is crumbling down around their ears. Meanwhile I'll just roll my eyes and grab a tissue.

One day when I have a larger bird I'm going to potty train it, but today is not that day.

Because let's be real, even though it's usually tiny and not that messy, it's still being poo poo on by an animal.

See, because him and I are bros I always think he just looks nervous because he's a lazy potato-shaped pushover with me but because he's kind of a dick to my friends they always think he looks insane.

Poicephalus parrots and greys are related so in some ways he's to a grey what a cockatiel is to a cockatoo

Is it possible for Tiels to be picky about where they poop? I just had oliver on my shoulder for like half an hour and as soon as I put him back on his perch he pooped, but I'm all clear. If so that is a very good potato.
