Think I found my "Big Bird"

Never trust an ornery bird! I've always figured Kirby to be a brat, because he always picked on his sister, dominates his mother, and tries to (without much luck) to dominate his father (i.e. kicking them off the food dishes!) Because of his 'bad attitude' I never let him on my shoulder.... that is, until today!

He decided he'd be a cute little sweet thing! He decided that I wasn't too bad after all and asked for scritches. He would even tuck his head under his wing awaiting a scritch! Just being overly cute! AND on top of that, if he really wanted one, he'd bend his head over, and use his FOOT to scratch his head! (much like a cockatoo or macaw would) Well, that little bugger got jealous of Casey and had a hissy fit! He didn't actually bite, but he went full on out attack on me! Never hurt, but it's quite annoying! Heck, if you think pms-ing chicks is bad, he's worse!

As cute as that little bugger can be, he's a stinkin BRAT! I think I like to watch from afar and listen to him talk than see his cute little face and giving himself scritches then all of a sudden do a full on attack on me!

Thought I'd add in another one of Kirby's strange voices!!! Not sure what he's doing here (camera is pointed at closed door as to not disturb him chirping)... strange of all things he has picked up....

LOL, I just played that and two of my cockatiels suddenly stopped what they were doing and started listiening & looking for the invisible cockatiel that had interrupted their singing, haha!

LOL! Yeah, listening to other birds really does seem to catch many birds interests!
