I love our Meyer's Cookie but he is one very high maintenance birdy and a little too smart for his own good.
I made a couple of loafs of banana bread today and gave him a little tiny piece (it's not good for him). You should have seen him. He looovvved it so much he held that tiny piece so careful with his foot as not to waste a crumb. That piece wasn't good enough so after he watched me wrap the rest up in individual pieces, he snuck over to the counter where it all was and chomped on one of the pieces. I walked over and he had the guiltiest look on his face :cool:
He's in love with himself and gets REAAALLY hormonal in front of any mirror and he knows where every D**mn mirror in the house is. I've had to take away all the lovebird mirrors, keep every bathroom door closed, and even had to change out his stainless steal dish because he kept dunking his head in the water to get closer to himself. Of course, this was after we had to pack away the stainless waffle maker he found first :x.
He loves to chew on our house. He especially loves the cabinets, we got him stuff to chew but he gets bored with it and after chewing on the cabinets, he heads to the big plastic box that is a smoke detector and starts crunching on that :eek:
NOPE! He's not fond of lovebirds. They scatter when he flies to the playgym. I don't blame them because he acts all casual and then all of a sudden, he pounces and is lookin' to rip into some birdy butt :omg:
And this is just part of a day in the life of a Cookabura and I wouldn't trade him for nothin' 8o
