I feel that the title of that video is lying to me. That potato already trusts her because he will fly onto her finger. If I tried that move with Thor it would involve me trying to catch him in the cage as he flies away from me before giving up and getting a net, and then ending up with a very very angry potato clamped down on my hand when I pull him out of it.

I tried to piss him off with a jingly bell to get a photo of his enraged dinosaur look but he acted this way instead





I like his cage layout at the moment. You can see a bell on a chain in front of him here-deliberately put there so he can do his RING RING trick in exchange for a treat

I've been working on teaching our grey, Bo, to accept being flipped on her back and cradled and rubbed on.
She... uh... tolerates it for the most part, but I suspect the only reason I still have fingers is because of her Collar-of-Shame that protects her feathers (& my flesh) from her Beak o' Destruction.

I shudder to think what kind of mischief a parrot could get up to with four limbs, a beak, and a prehensile tail. If an evil geneticist wants to design the downfall of mankind, you've given him the perfect template.

When I was a kid, I read all of the Lion/Witch/Wardrobe books. In the last one, which was metaphorical of Ze End of Days, there was an avatar of a second god running around withering earth beneath its feet, butchering people, and shrieking. It was described pretty much like your bird gryphon.

Yeah, they were crazy racist. The good young white kids disguise themselves as moon god worshippers at one point by wearing blackface to infiltrate them. It's pretty blatant.

Yeah I remember reading The Last Battle and just thinking "what" constantly, everything went way over my head. I'm going to read them all again. I'm pretty sure The Last Battle is the book where I learned that using th instead of s when whispering is way sneaker because the book goes into detail about it, and kid me thought it was the coolest sneakiest poo poo.


I saw your post in the woodworking thread first and replied to it with what I think. Sorry if it doesn't make sense, it's like 3am here.

Something else I just thought off, is it possible to make it taller, your birds will be way comfier with a longer legged cage.
