I guess I should make a Nice List too because while birds are 90% pain inthe ass they are Nice 10% of the time (being generous here). BUT they are always 100% perfect.
– Birdloaves, B’orbs
– SOFT PEEPING SOUNDS
-Ball tongues
-When the eyes move inwards to focus then outwards to look like a spaced-out doof
-fluffenchops with the head tilt
-beak grinding
– using words and sentences in context/ making new sentences out of words they already know
– birdy kisses
-warm dusty bird smell
- The Googley eyes
- Bird pants and bird cleavage
- When they walk on you and you feel their weight and their little feets
- When they stop what they are doing to kiss and preen you
- The pre-sleep chirp session
- The way they watch you when they are up some place high up
- When they get soaking wet from a REALLY through bath/shower
- When they admit the food is good after attacking it
- When the fearful or standoffish ones get close on their terms for the first time
– wet bird smell
– when they fall asleep on you
– asking for scritches
– the “i’m happy you’re home” chirp
