BECAUSE THEY CAN!

Sprite the Sun Conure here. Good job, Kiwi! Making our humans pick up things that we drop/throw will remind them that we're in charge.

"Pick up my toy!! Go on, pick it up, PICK IT UP!!!" Kiwi probably ....

My female budgie Elan picks up objects larger than she is and tosses them off the top of the cage and I hear the crash from the other room. A couple other females do the same so i think its a girl budgie thing. My boys just talk to posts.

Because it's fun? Cheap entertainment maybe? Tucker likes to adventure with newspaper once in a while and it's so funny to watch. Sometimes he manages to weave the paper through cage bars and toys. I swear he's a little engineer
Sorry this is a little long, a bit under 2 minutes, but I can't resist. He tried so hard...

Oh, he also can not stand strange objects on the kitchen table. Most recently tossed a whole roll of paper towels to the floor

So cute. My lovebird likes to fold paper. We’ll let him chew a bit on magazine pages that we’ve finished reading, and he’ll bite, fold, step on it to hold it, & repeat. He’ll get about 3 folds in, then accidentally let go & lose all his work. It’s also really funny to watch. I always wonder what’s going on in his cute little head when he’s doing it.

Damn! I dropped it! I wanted to read the funniest from my favorite perch!

That's a birdie gun activity. Throw items to floor, shredded if possible. Then watch the human pick it up.

Tucker is adorable. I’ve never really seen Ekkie’s be playful before. He looks Amazon sized!!!!

Tucker is, I think, not your typical ekkie. Definitely not a perch potato. He's always busy. He's a red sided, so a little bigger than Solomon islands. He goes between 420 and 450g depending on time of year and what I've been feeding him. At 450 he's a little chunky lol. Lots of amazons fit in that size range. Baxter is a YNA, one of the larger species, and she's a big girl at a solid 650. Kinda makes me lose perspective on what's *average."

Wow! My Amazon, Ava, is small. She’s around 330-335g. That definitely gives me perspective on the size difference between species!

If only we could understand the chaos that goes on in their wee heads. We'd be rich if we could harness that power! LOL!
