Weird things our birds make us say

[onamom]

What funny, weird things do you find yourself saying to your bird that you never thought you’d say to anyone?

Me to Ona today:

“Can you not stick your mouth up my nose? It’s weird.”

“Or I guess you could just stick your foot in my mouth.”

Another favorite: “My nose is not a perch!”

I've definitley said "my nose is not a perch!" a couple of times to Sierra, my gcc. Maybe it's a conure thing

 

[LaManuka]

Said to Lovejoy only today: "Lovejoy, did you HAVE to poop on Peachie??!" With the sort of range he can get with that liquid projectile lorikeet poop, this kind of thing is always possible!

Every now and again, some place in the back of a big box store I will find myself contact calling Julio. Thank God it is a whistle, and not words!!

When I'm working at Lowe's and the indoor resident house sparrows are making a racket I yell to them "What are you birds talking about?"
My husband's new nickname for me is Baby Bird. We work together at Lowe's and both carry hand held computer phones. When he calls me on on the work phone he calls me "Baby Bird" and I call him "Big Bird" and anyone standing nearby can hear it. Lots of laughs and funny looks!

Just today, I said to Ruby, “ Could you just STOP eating your poop then rubbing your mouth on my face?!”

 

[Jcas]

“Are you singing to your window lock? That’s so nice!” My budgie,Cooper, adores the brass lock on top of the windows.

 

[Free as a bird]

When I'm scratching and cuddling my tiels I'm usually like

"What are you doing hey"
"Are you being cheeky"
"Who dropped that on the floor"
"Hey"
"Why are you so cheeky"
And I'll continue my little interrogation

They love being spoken to. They like songs as well even though I'm not a great singer

When the dog barks or another cockatiel sings too loudly, Redshift tells them to 'SHUT UP.' What's funny is that the other birds will stop making noise!

“No, don’t you dare stick your grubby little toes in my butter!”

“Oh come on, let’s not squabble over who gets to play with the piece of paper on the bottom of your cage. Neither of you cared until I started cleaning.”

“Huh, I see. So dried poop is tastier than the treat in my hand..?”

“Rico… please… don’t lick my toenails you little weirdo.”

*sigh* “for the last time, I would really appreciate it if you could stop trying to eat my pencils, good sir. Thank you.”

“Get your feet out of my crab!”

“Are… are you for realsies, girliepop? Of all the places you want to land, you choose to try and land on his back?”

“Aye! Eating screen protectors is very bad for you, now PLEASE quit.”

Birds are just the most chaotic creatures…
