Just some general bird observations.
Why does Maggie sit on my chest and pick and pick and pick at my face? When Clyde wants to sit on my hand and pick and pick and pick at my eyebrows at the same time? Ne'er the twain shall meet. It's just not possible for both to indulge their obsessions at the same time.
Why does Rocky spend months being a good boy and being quiet in the morning until we get up, only to choose a morning when I don't have to get up early to let out a tornado siren shriek at 7 a.m.? And then squawk and insist on being held and getting down on the floor and trying to bite my feet after I put him back on his perch?
Why does Johnny come and sit on my lap to poop?
Why does Jade whisper "kiss kiss" and lean toward me, only to try to chomp my face off if I get within reach?
Why does Freddie let me kiss him if I remember to say "pretty baby" first, but chomps the heck out of my lip if I kiss him without saying "pretty baby" first?
Why does Benjy insist on sitting on Jade's cage when he knows she's going to lunge and possibly grab his tail? (He's missing tail feathers again right now)
Why does Clyde stuff his head under my finger and twist his head this way and that for head scratches and then chomp me for doing what he has clearly insisted I should do?
Why didn't I stop with one bird?

Woe betide you if you do not.
