Talking random/cute things your fids do ^_^

Heya,

everyone post 10 random/adorable/insane/cheeky things that your fids do/have done :p

Jasper:
1. Refuses to get put in his cage, then jumps around and flaps when you get him in..
2. Trys to fly downt the stairs but hits the wall and falls down instead
3. Won't eat his food if i'm in the room because he would rather be sitting on me than eat... So i either have to vacate my bedroom for a while so he eats, or let him eat while he is sitting on me (which i dont do anymore cos he shakes his beak and gets it aall oooover me and on everything) haha
4. trys to get sunflower seeds out of a sealed see-through container
5. Falls asleep with his head down my jacket ^_^
6. Throws all his other food out of his bowl to get to the peas...
7. Squawks at any male person that he sees
8. continually flys into the mirror *shakes head*
9. Rubs his beak and face all over me (its adorable.. except when his face is covered in something sticky like porridge!)
10. Talks in his sleep all the time ^_^ hehe

haha you love Jasper so much :)
This one's for Ashling, if I did the others I'd be here all night!

1. Yells WOOOO and blows raspberries when I spin her around on my hand!
2. Rubs her beak on me, all fluffed up, then curls up on my lap and goes to sleep like a kitten.
3. Rolls on her back, waving her little feet in the air and mouthing my fingers when I tickle her tummy.
4. Bending low to the ground then shooting up and yelling "BOO!"
5. Hops around with her feathers fluffed up, then dives along the floor and walks along like that making zipping noises.
6. Bites people then says "OW" and laughs when they yell.
7. Calls "Baby?... Baby?... Baby?.. Hello?... BABY!!??" When she can't find me.
8. Makes gurgling noises when she eats/ drinks her favorite treats.
9. When she sighs "ohh..." in her squeaky baby voice, when something unexpected happens.
10. Standing tall and showing off then flapping her wings saying "flap- flap!"

If I can think of 10...

Kiwi:

1. Falls asleep whenever I try teaching him how to dance
2. Chews my hair at every opportunity
3. Attacks towels
4. Bathes four times a day in his water dish
5. Tries to eat birthmarks
6. Flies off his perches and walks around the house (yes, that's dangerous, I'm trying to figure out how to get him not to do that)
7. Tries to eat photos off of the newspaper lining.
8. Licks fingers, toes, hair, skin, pretty much everything
9. Noses are his favorite to lick
10. Eats my food if I don't watch carefully

Made it to 10. Though, I'm pretty sure half the birds do this stuff.

Only 10 things? :D

1. My lovebird, Tori, only has to hear paper (not even me crinkling it or anything. I have no idea how she knows) before she's chirping for it.
2. My lovebirds have a tent, but Tori takes up all of it, so Josh sleeps on top, which is right against the top of the cage bars. He's my "squished lovebird" then.
3. When I leave the room, my Meyer's parrot, Garth (formally known as Woody), will do a whistle that goes "do, do, do, dooo," which is the most adorable thing.
4. Garth -loves- men. He only has to hear my roommate's boyfriend's voice and he goes nuts and goes through his entire vocabulary. (Which he never does for me, but, being female...
5. When chewing on paper, Tori makes cute little chirps, while Josh paces around her, wanting the paper for himself.
6. Josh will come to the front of the cage and stare at me, until I look at him. Then he wanders off.
7. Garth laughs with me or the TV and then he goes "hisss," which is hilarious.
8. When I take a nap, Garth goes to sleep, too.
9. In the morning, Garth will climb down to his bottom perch, and peek under the towel cage cover, like he's pointedly reminding me that it's time for him to get up, too.
10. Garth -must- have his red Zupreem pellet to snack on before bedtime. He just sits on the side of his food bowl, holding his pellet in his foot and he nibbles on it until its gone.

1. If Pickle thinks that I've slept in too late, he'll quietly start saying "baby" and gradually get louder until I check on him.

2. He sometimes takes a nap on my lap while I'm reading.

3. If he's grooming himself, he does this funny thing with his foot, kind of like he's rubbing his chin and pondering *what* to do next.

4. He terrorizes his foot toys, knocking them around and says, "Good baby!" when they hit the ground.

5. He gets SO excited over fresh produce, particularly blueberries and corn.

6. Sometimes he takes a bath in his water bowl and immediately takes another one in a bowl I leave on top of his cage while he's out.

7. He flies to the top of my head (even though he's not to do that) and likes to rub my scalp with his feet.

8. He charms the pants off of everyone who meets him, especially people who have never seen a brotogeris before.

9. I love how he pokes his head out of his sleep cozy when I get home from work.

10. Pickle makes every day that much better for simply being a parrot!

1. Keiko likes to play the drums, by bouncing around on top of one or scratching it with her beak.
2. Alfie likes to burrow, and pushes his chest into corners and goes to sleep like that.
3. Alfie and Keiko HATE liquid filled bottles, so God help you if you try and drink out of your water bottle when they are in the vicinity!
4. Alfie likes to say 'strike a pose', and he always follows through with the action.
5. Keiko refuses to say her own name, and to spite me, if i say 'Keiko' to her, she always replies with 'Alf' or 'Alfie'.
6. Alfie says Keiko's name with a stutter- 'Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ko'
7.Keiko likes to dance while Alfie provides the beats- he stands on a perch and makes a little rhythmical 'ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch' which sounds like he has the mexican hat dance stuck in his head, and Keiko bobs up and down, swings her head from side to side and stamps her hoot (hand/foot = hoot)
8. Keiko loves the sound of her own voice, the more you play herself back to her on a speaker, the more excited she becomes.
9. Alfie likes to sing along when my mum is singing around the house- he improvises his whistles and he likes to make up his own little tunes.
10. Keiko's favourite game is to fly over to you from her playgym while you are trying to type on the computer, land on your shoulder and peer around at you and say a very friendly "hello!"
