Random Thoughts from a Large Head

I bought Pixel, the pet cockatiel, some new toys for her cage today. She was down to only her bell, as she had chewed through her other toys. And she and the bell have become close. Perhaps too close. Let’s face it, she and the bell have become, well, intimate. So I decided she needed some distraction from her plaything.

She has two new toys in the cage: a mirror and this whirly thing that has a jingle bell in it. And she doesn’t like them. They scare her. She’s doing what I can only assume is the cockatiel equivalent of the human fetal position: shifting back and forth from one leg to the other on her food dish.

At least she quit choking the chicken.
