Thought This Would Tickle Your Funny Bone....

....or your feathers or your feet.

We just discovered today that Marcel is either afraid of or fascinated by "bare feet". He usually sees us with socks on and now that its warmer, we walk around without shoes and socks.

He bobs his head and tries to chase our feet. He jumped off his playstand and actually growled and ran after my son's feet. If we wiggle our toes he goes into "attack mode" and owww he bit my big toe (wasn't too funny at the time).

Now we're actually afraid of getting our toes bitten off. lol

He's become a little terror.

So funny....well I guess you have to see it to believe it.

That's funny Mrs. Birdy. Our birds will nibble and bite our toes if they notice them on the couch.

Hi Mrs. Birdy,

I can believe it. My little terror lovebird goes after fingers in the same manner. Sometimes we call her a hatebird, LOL.

LOL. I love all your cute footsie stories (and fingers, Love Bird B).

We love playful parrots.

lol....I guess birds think feet and fingers are little baby birds....or baby predators...
or toys?

So funny.

Taz is just facinated with feet. He sits there and compares his to ours.

I have to tell you this one!

I got my lovebird because her former caregiver passed away. His son brought the beloved pet to the funeral in her cage and left her with the guests. One person got too close to the cage and found how hard a lovebird can bite a finger -and not let go! The poor woman wanted to scream, but didn't out of respect of the situation. Laughing at the poor person's expression was also out of the equation, so there was a room full of gasps and mutterings. I wasn't there but heard about it from the woman that had been bitten. She laughs whenever she tells that one!
