Just thought I'd share my little beaver hybrid's tendency to fashion her perches into Buffy/Blade quality stakes! Haha!

Keep in mind that the perch originally looked more like these:

And just when I was thinking about adding an eclectus to my flock. I don't want that one taking a chunk out of me. :D But they are beautiful.

Oh No!! Maya is fashioning her own DIY weapons now? Makes me wonder who her intended victim is. And is Bixby planning his defense strategy in the background there?

Hahaha! If it helps, she's never beaked me with anything more than the gentlest of pressure. Not once.

She has nipped my wife rather hard on occasion, but I'm pleased to report that Maya has thus far refrained from attempting such whittling on her.

Hahaha! As for her intended victim, I did make the mistake of letting her and Bixby watch The Walking Dead with us, so maybe she's just prepping for walkers?

And yes, Bixby is ALWAYS planning his defense strategy where she's concerned. Lol!

I really do like the colors of a female Eclectus (I like the male colors too but I have an Amazon). I keep looking on Craigslist...:D

Yeah, it was the beauty of the females that first caught my eye. I'd actually put down a payment on a female hatchling, originally. But the males came in first and the store owner invited me to come and see them. (Very tricky! Lol!) Obviously I fell in love with Bixby and took him instead. Hahaha!

But it all worked out the way it was supposed to, because now I have Maya as well. Two opposites. He barely preens and sports a trademark, perpetually tousled look, and she's the equivalent of the popular high school prom queen who spends all day in the mirror, not a hair/feather out of place. Lol!

Good job Maya! Keep them on their toes.

Hahaha! She most certainly does at that! Bundle of personality.

Wow, Maya really went to town on that perch:) Hmmm...wonder if she has a crush on Daryl, and wants to prove her worth to him? I bet she could whittle some amazing arrows.

Wonder if she'd be the only one with a crush on Daryl in that case? Just saying, you were quite specific there with your arrow whittling scenario. Lol!

Darn, I am busted! So far my whittled sticks resemble...whittled sticks. Maybe I could take lessons from Maya? If only I had a beak.

Hahaha! You are such a nut, Terr! But I think I prefer your current, non-beaked incarnation... no matter how great a whittler you might make, otherwise.

Ah, she must know you have katanas and weapons... You've obviously influenced her :D. Maybe she's trying to impress you with it Stephen?

Well, if so, this beats her offerings of "sweet regurge" by quite a ways! Hahaha!
