Birdies on their backs

[Tiki]

Who all has a bird who will lie on his back in your hand? Let's see those birdies on their backs!







Ixchel does it too but I don't have a pic yet.

He's not in my hand, but he is on his back

I posted this before I think.... Still cute :)

Pumpkin, my quaker, doesn't like it. I think it makes him feel unstable because he doesn't have anything to hold onto.

Baby loves to have her belly rubbed.

How do you train them to do that?

Charlie is the only one here who'll lay on his back... He'll even cross his feet! I can even hold him on his back upside down or in various positions while supporting/holding onto his back.... even been able to get away with cradling him like a baby a few times!



I don't have pics of all the ways I've held him (he hates the camera), but to give you an idea..... I've held him like this, only that my hand is supporting Charlie's back, not his neck area... thus his body is a little more straight...



Also gotten him to lay on his back on my head (not easy to get him to lay on his back without ones hands holding him...).. or rather my forehead/nose area is where he's resting... but for an idea... well this is good enough!

Just click to enlarge!

Oh what a hilarious thread! They're ALL so funny. That Sennie is great! My Sennie lays on her back in her bowl a lot. I hope I can get a shot of that.
