Veritas posted:There is no way that fluffy grey with the pants is capable of murder. :3 When they still have dark baby eyes they are completely harmless - they just squeak and demand cuddles n food, the murderousness only emerges in the 2nd year. To be fair her, Pookie is really a very mellow and good-natured bird 99% of the time, but when she does bite it's very sore so you tend to remember it.

The bird hut near my house has three baby greys. Am I surprised that the first thing they learned is to bite a finger? No...not at all. (Whenever I figure out why my Youtube uploader isn't working, you all are going to get flooded with birb vids.  )

Today, I was lying back, with my infant son sleeping on my chest, and Yoshi the budgie standing on my foot and making a puffy happy face at the baby while my wife watched and smiled, and I'm just... I'm very lucky. I love birds. Has Yoshi kinda put together that baby = new friend? Pets interacting with babies can be some of the cutest poo poo, my grandma's dog would curl up with my younger brother when he was an infant and we'd visit.

He's learned the baby's name now and says "Hi [baby]!" which was really quick, even for him to learn, and he walks as close as we'll let him and makes tiny chirps at him.

I came home late last night on a delayed flight, and despite it being past everyone's bedtime, I got a lot of chirpy queries out of the cage. I went and chatted with them, Sera was vaguely resentful and also clingy, and then I put them back to bed and unpacked enough to settle in for the night. Until eleven minutes past seven this morning where we suddenly had a very panicked dawn chorus, where I guess my boys woke up and started worrying about whether I was still here. I ended up just standing next to the cage for twenty minutes chatting with them, because Ozzy was not feeling secure enough to come out but also really wanted me nearby, and was also very not okay with Sera and I leaving him. They missed me. They are calmer now. Ozzy's absolute terror of hands reaching into the cage continues. If I put my hand in the cage he hisses and lunges, but he really doesn't connect that with me. I briefly tried to pick him up, to see if he was feeling it this morning, and I got such an extreme reaction that I went, "hey, look at me," and he looked me in the eye and completely relaxed and gave me sweet chirpy noises. My poor broken PTSD bird. He wants to come out so badly sometimes, but I can't pick him up in the cage at all, and I don't know if he forgets the door is open or what.

Cythereal posted:Lovebirds at it again. Crouton is just as neat as that but faster, though her sticking-strips-in-her-butt-feathers game is weak so most of them just fall out in two seconds. Galbedir is a boy so he tries to chew regular uniform strips and loses focus two nibbles in and just chews the paper thoughtfully instead.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:I love this post I literally cannot stop laughing at that. Masterful phrasing. Anywho! It's Sunday and Serra the Cockatiel is grumpy as all hell. She is going through her first molt and spending certain times of day just crying until I mist her. Which makes her angry. But not being misted makes her angry. Ahhh, the joys of Cockatiel Rage. (Aggressive beaking and honking) Serra, thrilled to have just had a tail feather yanked.  Serra is saying, through telekinesis, "Yes, a seed. Many seeds? How many are the most? I'll take the most seed."  She has been in hysterical grumpy fluffball grooming mode most of the day -  "WOT M8?!"  Occasionally, she time travels. Here she is preparing to time travel -  :inception noise:  Serra is alarmed when servers go down -

Serra is too cute for words. I love grumpy cockatiel rage, it's just so hopelessly adorable. Also I love that powerdy birds seem to both hate/not hate water. My birds are loving mad for it and will start yelling if they so much as hear a trickle of water start and they are not a part of it.

NeurosisHead posted:Is that what the behavior stems from? I had always assumed it was a plumage display behavior. Nah, it's a nesting thing. Crouton puts strips into her tail feathers then brings them back to the cage to thread through the bars and weave into her toys. She can get surprisingly intricate for someone using only their face and a thumb-tongue.

It's like when they find a missing person's camera in a monster movie and check the last picture they took. On moulty cockatiels - I remember one time when Looloo took off around the kitchen just going "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" continuously, and we all though something terrible was happening when a long tail feather came twirling down and she stopped roaring. Apparently butt feathers feel weird when they are coming out.
