Athena doesn't like for me to touch the top of her head. Nor tail feathers.. That is considered a mortal sin in my house and Athena and Zeus will lecture at a very high volume for it.

Pickles doesnt like the top of his head touched. Cheeks scratched? yes. But it is very rare that he lets me scratch his head. Only when he is being distracted by kisses to his beak or even more rarely he will cuddle up on my chest sometimes before bed and let me give him a good head scratch while he purrs. Ive had him 6 months and he has done this only twice. Most of the time he just beaks my fingers to tell me "No head scratches now mom!"

Goldie does not want you to help her get out of her cage unless she drops her head. She will get you if you try. My Boo the 'keet is not happy at all if you try to touch him/her unless s/he comes to you.

Nika gets snippy when I'm handfeeding her something, and I hand her another piece before she's done with the one she's chewing. She'll drop her piece just to lash out! it's so ridiculous!

Boomer does not like me watching Youtube birds if he is perched on my shoulder. He will huff and puff then attack the screen lol. He also hates Imelda Marcos, Kathy Griffin and any blonde or red head that pops up on the screen. Actually he hates anything that resembles a human face if it pops up on my screen, including video game characters.

He is the jealous type!

These are great! Our fids sure have personality!

Kenji doesn't like if I mess with his things inside his cage for too long, it makes him nervous and if I take more than a minute it two he will start screaming and I just have to back up. Only time that happens is when the quick links are really tight and I have trouble loosening it.

Love all the above posting, very interesting

Mishka hates it when I ignore him

He will call me "mommy" in a soft gentle voice
Then call again "mommy"

After the third time the word mommy sounds completely different
He begins screeching "mommmmmmmmyyyy" and does not stop until I answer him.

Kippy hates when I leave the house, and will SCREAM for a good 3-5 minutes after I walk out the door. She used to hate head scritches, but has recently seen the cuddling light. :)

Eclectus Parrot, Rupee
Rupee, for some strange reason, hates toes. If she encounters them on the floor or in bed she'll growl and bite them, causing toes to jerk away which instigates more biting. It's okay if she sees them coming though - in which case she'll preen and nibble them gently. They just can't risk taking her by suprise... I don't know what it is about them that freaks her out so much.

Fargo hates fingerless gloves, its coming into winter, so i got a pair, if i am not wearing them, he LOVES them, plays with them, but as soon as i put them on, he just goes into full attack mode :p hahahaha
But he likes pretty much anything else, although he does get jealous if i hold the dog ;)

Our cockatiel HATES jingly noises. We bought her a few toys with bells and she seems to think they're cockatiel death devices even when we've tried to introduce them slowly.

Margarita our dna sexed male scaly breasted lorikeet hates when his girlfriend (aka a set of plastic toy keys that hang from the top of his cage) make any sign of movement - he will pin his eyes, dance around them, headbutt them and scream. What he even hates more than this, is when the keys drop to the floor of his cage or even worse, out of the cage. He shrieks. Then when I hang them back up proceeds to headbutt them even more, as if trying to punish them :rolleyes:
