Is it okay for my cockatoo to burrow into my shirt?

[fayah]

My bird's favorite hidey hole is...right into my shirt! If coming from under, she will literally walk so far into the shirt cave that her little head pops up my collar. And sometimes her head snuggles around my sleeves for extended periods of time that I worry she is not gettimg enough oxygen? But she really seems to enjoy the closeness. Thoughts?

What type of 'too do you have?

My RB2 is not that cuddly and if he did this would be a pain as he would keep popping out to check the coast is clear. A bit like having a jack in the box down your shirt I should think?

Yep!
The Rb loves to dive down my t-shirt collar and emerge head first upside down at the lower hem. I can walk around that way.
This is actually our low-tech way of brief outdoor transportation when necessary. I can trap him in there for a short time when the travel-crate isn't handy. He grabs onto my Victoria's Secret and is actually pretty stable.
I know. Weird.

Rocky loves to do that and his favorite thing is my fleece Eeyore hoodie. He sticks his head down the arm (it's kind of loose on me) and all that's sticking out is his butt and tail. Looks completely dorky to sit there with a 'too butt under my chin and the rest of the 'too under my shirt, but it makes him happy.

Just when I believed that I knew what 'Victoria's Secret' was! I now have to figure this out. Okay, I'll just ask my wife and have to deal with the question: Why do you ask?

I think she means her bra. LOL Rocky chews on mine, but it's definitely not Victoria's Secret. Mine's Walmart.

I have an umbrella. I am sure given the chance she would fall asleep in my shirt lol. But i am glad to know i am not the only one with a frequent bird tumor under my shirt !

Absolutely safe and fun for the bird. Just want to ensure Tica cannot chew and swallow harmful buttons, pins, etc. I have a bunch of older shirts that have been retired for the birds. They are well chewed, missing buttons, and pooped on.
