Rapid fire bites, I know that well but they don't hurt. Sky got me good the other day and that hurt!!
They do have a mind of their own and when they want petting they let you know and also when to stop.

Being birds mature at a faster rate than humans it could be puberty and hormal changes. Fester is about the same age.

As soon as the door opens on Festers cage, he is right there heading toward my hand to get out, If I left the door open I would never get anything done he would be out and trying to get to me. When I am on the computer I put him on the desk with me
and he goes back and forth between the desk and me, and when I sit and watch tv, he likes to be on my chest and cuddle under my chin for some scratching and petting. You should give it a try if you haven't. Can't help with the shower issue as Fester only gets misted. Shower time is my time, no kids, no husband, no dog, no cat no birds just me and quiet lol

DON'T MESS WITH TERRY'S SHOWER TIME

that's right the shower is sanity time and my sanctuary! Messing with shower time means rapid fire bitting!!!

I bet you're going to be reincarnated as a cockatiel

:: switches to teaching voice:

Now children what have we learned today?

Kid one: we are slaves to our animal companions

Me: Good, next person?

Kid two: If you don't own a digital camera save up for one or else be pestered for pictures of animals.

Me: that'll happen either way, digital camera or no. but you guys are forgetting the most important lesson.

Kid three: what's that teacher?

Me: If you mess with terry's showertime you get attacked with vicious bites...and depending on her mood you may not like where they end up...

Class: Haiiiiiiiiiii ( Japanese for yes..no i'm not japanese nor am i fluent at it...i just pick up the important stuff from subtitled japanese anime)

Author's Note: creative genius at work..DEAL WITH IT...

PS I will huff and hiss and than watch out I attack like I am playing the harmonica!!!

PPS Digital camera's have really come down in price
start ddoing some websearches and reading up and you could probably get a nice one for almost nothing and in the long run it pays for itself when you add up
the cost of film developing over the course of time
and if you use throw aways that adds up also.
So yes we will bug you for pictures you must have some you can scan, It's been a little over a month now right????? huh huh

actually you guys have been bugging me since i joined the forum....and no i don't because i haven't gotten anything developed from the throw away i own because it's still not full...

well lets finish the roll lol there is a bird that needs it's pictures taken and quite nosey people who want to see the pictures

hn...are you threatening me terry?

ummm let's call it dropping gentle hints with a sledge hammer

YOU CALL THAT GENTLE????
