What are some of the mischievous things your parrot does?

Joey has been tossing her "toys" (bottle caps and other small objects) off the top of her cage all morning. She picks them up in her beak, walks to the edge, drops them, and then looks at me. After a few, I pick them up and put them back. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. But the good news is that Joey is back to normal after her behavior change over a week ago.

Quasar's decided that his new favorite pastime is to toss the nutriberries - untasted- out of his food bowls. Pellets.. I don't think they've registered as food yet to him. Oy!

Charlie's finally discovered the toy box I stuck in his cage. He likes to sit in it and demolish it, LOL!

Uglow has a wicked sense of humor. He’ll call me over like he wants to perch on my shoulder, then traps me. One foot clamped on my shirt, the other on his cage, he stares me down with “I might bite you” eyes. It’s his favorite game. Sometimes, my only escape is wriggling out of my shirt. And then he laughs.

It's been documented that crows and ravens have a sense of humor as well as mischief. So why not our beloved companion birdies. Nameliss grabs me with her beak. I'm expected to say ouch or ouwie. If I'm distracted she'll grab and yell ouch.

I took my senior german shepherd mix to the vet. He was drooling excessively. Sometimes foaming. The vet was asking about diet changes, eating stuff he shouldn’t (human food). She was examining him, and doing a great job. It dawned on me at the very end of the appointment that all of my parrots feed him. They always throw him empty shells of seeds/nuts when he walks by their cages. The vet said sunflower seeds shouldn’t cause the above symptoms. I had to explain that my macaw also does this with pecan shells, and walnut shells. Always empty too. She then said that for sure would cause some digestive issues. You can’t really put up a seed guard on a macaw cage they can chew those up easily. I’ve been doing my best to get to the nut shells before my shepherd. He still moves pretty fast when he wants something. The parrots have not let up on feeding the dogs. I have no clue why all of them need to feed the dogs.

Yvons LOVES feeding my dog, Winter. Pellets, almonds, Nutriberries, veggies - it's all fodder for the dog, who has decided Yvons' cage is her personal buffet. OY!
