something i have been meaning to ask is it pretty normal
for these guys to always be looking at things with their heads upside down.
kind of cool to watch how far they can twist their heads to get the crook neck looking going on. i mean Max is always doing this.

funny title,lol

Totally normal. Parker does it sometimes. Especially if he’s up higher than we are.

I think the males more so than the females.
But it is pretty normal for them.

Interesting observation that males are more prone to this behavior. Wonder why that would be?

Kiwi frequently looks at us in this position. Sometimes I turn my neck (though it doesn't bend as far as his) and give him and upside down head look right back:p That usually makes him pretty happy/excited (in general Kiwi likes when I imitate his body language/noises). I note Kiwi usually does the upside down head look when he's in a playful mood or sees you with something he thinks might be a toy you're not sharing:rolleyes: I think it's a way to grab your attention more than anything.
