Silly Princess biting my toes!

I'm laying here in bed with the laptop and Tjinimin is running up and down my back and legs. Then he gets to my feet and bites my toes! He doens't do any damage, I think he is just playing but he sure is a silly little bloke!

ROFLMBO!!!! That's cute!! I do that too. Sit on the bed with the laptop and the the fids play by me. One at a time...too many size differences. Caesar and Raeka like to bite on my toes but they hurt. They play too but those big ol beaks....Caesar plays rough and Raeka is a baby so she doesn't know her own strength.

Is it a parakeet thing? Laker went for my toes in the summer. It tickled.

It is more of a tickle than anything painful. It's really funny because he will chase them around if I move my feet!

Parrakeets aren't the only birds with a thing for shoes and feet.

My birds are fascinated with feet too, especially one of my male cockatiels, if I'm not wearing shoes he'll sit and sing to my toes. It's so funny.

Both of my tame tiels also love to try and chew on shoe laces.

Whenever I'm trying to tie my shoe laces, my toucanet takes it as an opportunity to start a tug a war with me over them. I just joke that he's trying his best to help.
