Lilac Crowned Amazon (Bacci- Forever on my shoulder, forever in my heart.)
Yellow Collared Macaw (Loki the Monkey Bird)
Military Macaw (Wingnut)
Citron Crested Cockatoo
(Knuckles)
So, this was interesting......
Most mornings, after a training session, I will crack a few nuts (walnut, hazelnut, pecan, almond and Brazilnut) into a bowl, and offer it to each bird to choose whichever they would like. This morning, as Wingnut munched a walnut, and Loki enjoyed an almond, I noticed that Knuckles chose half a Brazilnut. I was drinking my coffee, and when I looked up, Knuckles was grasping the half nut in her foot, and rubbing it all over her face, beak, and neck area. It was so cute! Almost like she was applying some sort of cosmetic. I know that these particular nuts are quite oily, so I was thinking that perhaps she was intentionally trying to get it on her feathers or something. Has anyone ever seen this before?
