What are some of the sillier things that your birds do?

Rosa has developed a habit of screaming into her food cup. Whenever I pick Tootsie up, Rosa starts to protest and she promptly runs over and sticks her head down inside the food cup and starts squawking away at top voice. She has it so far down in that she can't even see me or Tootsie any longer. She will do that several times until she finally gives up and quiets down to just watch. I've been trying to figure out why she is doing that and the only thing I can come up with is that she thinks it makes her voice louder. Certainly must be in that confined space but happily it makes her protests that much quieter for me. :)

Unrelated: I got loved on by a Queen of Bavaria Conure today. What a beautiful bird!

Darcy, my goffin, tried to imitate everything I did. I used to have her with me pretty much everywhere and the one day she was on the kitchen counter while I was reheating some food in the microwave. She watched me intently as I turned the microwave on and then when I was done, she walked over to it, lifted her foot up and started trying to push the buttons to get the microwave to turn on lol. She also loved to feed me french fries. She would sit on my shoulder, run down to my plate, pick up a fry, hop up my chest and shove it in my mouth. Luckily for me she didn't chew it up for me first :)

Uh... everything!

One time my boyfriend and I fell alseep on the bed while watching TV, and he somehow made his way from his table (he's clipped) onto the bed, and walked on top of us and started playing with our hair and biting my boyfriend's nipple. Now he goes for his nipples whenever he sees them. XD

Awww! That's adorable how she feeds you IcyWolf!! I'm surprised she has the restraint not to eat the yummy fries!!

James, hahahahaha, I think you're probably right. I know I would never stick my head in a bowl with a bird screaming into it.

I've been bit in my nipple, too. Well, it was more of a curious nibble - but it still hurt! lol.

Our GCC has developed a habit of chasing after toes. Whenver she sees a bare foot, the little bugger puffs up in a ferocious manner and chases after it as if it were her worst enemy. Oh, and she WILL bite if she happens to catch a toe, lol.
