Who's Your Most Mischieveous Bird?

[BirdzRmylife]

Good Afternoon all.

I was thinking about another thread that could turn into alot of fun.

Who is your most mischieveous bird? What species are they? And what are some of their antics? Also, a picture would be nice, to put face with the little bandit.

I'll start. Hands down my most mischieveous bird, is Buddy my cockatiel. Buddy is loud, spoiled, a talented whistler, and an HUGE rascal.

A day in the life of Buddy is to fly upon the tv cabinet a minimum of five times, and throw everything possible from the top to the floor. May it be important bills, sunglasses, or even VHS's! Once Buddy has managed to throw down the papers, prefferably small thick papers, he begins to throw the paper up to over a foot, runs up to it again and screams, or says "HEY BUDDY"! And this continues until he goes through nearly every room in the house.

To continue to annoy Daddy, Buddy must fly upstairs to visit his brothers and sisters(The budgies, and waxbill) another minimum of five times per day, until Daddy comes to take him back downstairs.

To continue the day, Buddy has to keep an eye on his neighbours cage where the door might have been left open, and hwere he can make a mad-dash for Jake's seeds(Buddy has pellets).

Buddy is also the fid, who loves to be scritched, but if you dare scritch him in the wrong place, you'll get a glare and a bite....

Siggggggggggh, Buddy's a spoiled Birdy. Now,... while I await other responces... I'll be off to retrieve Buddy from upstairs, and take away the paper I he is throwing around.

...in our case, Trouble the Budgie wins hands down...

...she's flighted, and loves to dive-bomb everyone! She bullies all the other birds - her cage-mate, the Amazon, the 'tiels and the Pi...however, Trouble and the Pi are starting to establish a connection...I think they're planning a hostile take over...

Depends on the breeding season, but it's usually Cory. Cory will bide her time until she can swoop in and steal a piece of food. She loves to play the "sucker" game, where she "drops" something and then screams until you come pick it up. She also loves to buzz her sister.

Zen, on the other hand, is only a trouble maker when she's looking for love. Then she goes around trying to find a nesting site, or will get up on top of something and call for someone to come over, then she presents herself.

This is a no brainer at **********. Dreamie may be the MOST mischievous bird on the planet! Here's a few highlights:

1. He can and does open all cage doors here at ********** whenever he's in the mood.

2. He delights in opening feeder doors and destroying the occupying crocks or now that they are all stainless bowls, just tossing the contents.

3. He likes to sing into empty bowls

4. He makes "forts" and defends them. Its like his own special clubhouse where only boys are allowed. Reminds me of the Little Rascals.

5. He once opened 18 of 24 diet sodas by removing the tabs and pierced a few on the sides just for fun. I actually have to lock the sodas in a spare cage and padlock it.

6. He delights in running across cage tops and unscrewing the quick links leaving everyone's toys and swings on the poopy papers below.

7. He likes to go on adventures and then calls for me to come get him. He knows he's not allowed upstairs in the "no fly zone" so he and his sidekick, Sailor another BG macaw, climp up the stair railing, explore and destroy and then call me by saying "Upstairs, Step Up!

8. He sings Popeye the Sailor man daily, as loud as he can and with as much enthusiasm as possible. He has his trusty sidekick say "YaY" at the end.

9. He opens the bathroom door and just sits in the bottom of the shower stall until I come and give him a good soaking. He LOVES a shower and never voluntarily leaves without a lot of drama.

10. He got into my purse and ate my Chanel lipstick! ($25 a pop)

11. He nips me on the heiny and then laughs.

12. He has dragged the trash can liner out of the can and woven it through his cage bars so tightly I had to use a scissors to cut it out.

13. He loves to dump water dishes on my head. I no longer have flat top cages to discourage this particular behavior.

14. He sometimes delights in pulling my hair out then he looks me in the eye and says "I'm sorry". This is followed by "good bird ha ha ha".

15. When he gets angry with me, he says "Bite you!"

16. He calls the dog Joey and when she comes, he says "Bad, Bad dog"

The list is endless!

I've had Blondie for over a year now, and she still likes to fly away from me.

Blondie knows the step up command, and on her trerms only, does she obey it. For awhile I clipped her wings, so I wouldn't have to chase her around for a 1/2 hour trying to get her back into her cage (being handicapped this is hard).

Now that her wings have grown back, she flies away some, but not like before I clipped her wings, but she's learned where she can go where I can't reach her, then she will come out sweet as you please, put her foot up as if she's going to step up, then flies off again.

I know this isn't as funny as the others, but I find it frustrating. When I can I'm getting her wings clipped again, to stop this little game of hers.

Outlaw, that is hilarious and I'm sure we can't compete with your bad bird! LOL

My naughty birdie would be Aspen, the Salvin's Red Lored. She is naughty because she likes to buzz our heads and the other birds (making them dive out of her way). She screams and fake-lunges at you when you ask her to step up (but then happily steps up if you ignore her). She has a sense of humor and keeps me laughing,m for sure!

Her she is looking rather innocent . . .

I only have one bird.. LOL, Lily hands down - my most mischevious parrot ever!

Lily destroys everything paper - toys, important documents, newspaper, anything.

Lily loves throwing food at my computer screen and keyboard, or any other knook that will be the devil to clean.

She has chewed my mother's Gucci reading glasses to the point of no return, ate like twenty good-sized holes in one of my Dolce and Gabbana t-shirts and damaged just about every pair of my sister's diamond earings.

She also makes a mess in whatever she does, she'll bite you and then kiss you, and just has a blast!

Toss up between my male White Fronted Amazon or my Male Lutino Cockatiel.
Both like to take advantage of attention VIA getting into trouble.

They both talk up a storm and love music. So when I have the radio on, they seem to enjoy it and play on their playtops.

Shaka and Manu are crime partners. They are the first ones to scramble out of the bird room when the door is open and I am putting food in. I can always chase them back in with "Go home"!

When they are in my room, they are into everything. They chew on the wicker mirror frame and the artificial plants, also CD cases or anything I have lying around. They will help themselves to anything I am eating. When I want to bring them back to their room, they fly up high on the picture rails and I sometimes have to chase them around with the net. They turn this into a game of "Dodge Birdy"! They are experts at ducking the net! I usually mange to wear them out and catch them in the end. If I catch one, the other one will usually give in and fly down to my shoulder. So they are my little criminals!

[CACPioneer]

Yeeeahhhh.....that would be Lexi. She's just a little devil and doesn't care if she's caught or not. Here are a few of the things she does to express her inner-rebel:

* Tosses cd cases off the rack (keep in mind that the cd's are about twice her size!)

* Shreds any sort of paper/wood product that she can get her little beak on.

* Hoards (sp?) all the peas and then drops them off my desk so Buddy can't have any.

She's not quite as mischevous as some of the other birds that have been mentioned, but she's the trouble-maker of this flock anyway.

Here's a mugshot of my little devil nagging Buddy (another one of her favorite things to do).
