Gollum will get finished eating and come over just to wipe her beak on my clothes and what she cant wipe off she gets my attention, holds her mouth open then wipes and looks at me as if saying... hello parront, can you not see the stuff on my beak, chop chop!
She is so funny!

Parker's the same way wth me. But he doesn't like me cleaning off the remainder at all. Apparently he's perfectly content being a dirty little boy.

Oh she doesn't like it when I clean it either. She got my finger pretty good this morning when I did. It's like she wants me to make it clean without having to make it clean.... *sighs*

I wave a tissue in front of Venus. She bites it and plays with the tissue, which cleans the gunk on her beak. I have to trick her to do this though.

Lol. Kiwi doesn't like it, but he gets his beak wiped with a real napkin before he's allowed on us or the furniture. A human napkin I am not:D!

Foo considers my husband the best napkin. She will go out of her way to wipe her beak on his shoulder. It's also fun to eat there and then shake her beak every which way tosses little hunks of fruit or whatever on him.

This morning I had Venus out, warned some sweet potato and sat down with her. This is my truck with her to eat the good stuff. I had food on my shirt, pants, chair and she then found a way to wipe her beak in my hair. But she ate a good amount of sweet potato and that's good. She needs a lot of vitamin A to help with her breathing issue.

the things we do for our birds! Haha. We went through a lot of that when trying to get Foo off her seed diet. I always tricked my husband into being the bird napkin..and now she seems to think he really is. ;)
