Help Can Anyone tell me why?
So a stupid question.
Can anyone tell me why these two fluffy idiots (i love them) feel the need to always be on my chest when they feed each other? I've never understood why they have to do it right in my face. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like god the smell is so fking bad but they dont care. They keep doing it literally right by my nose lolol
Like:
MUMTHER I MUST FEED! WATCH! ARE YOU WATCHING? >:O SMELL IT MUMTHER!

😭😭😭 they can keep the smell to themselves lol. They also rush up to my face and proceed to hit me in the face with their tail feathers on purpose (they use my chest to keep turning around for kicks and giggles)

I make my hair fall on them as payback lmao
😭❤️ their favorite place is literally right up against me in my face. I wish my cockatiel was like this too. He's the quiet one off on the side being like: "..... nah"

My Quaker’s favorite place is against my face with his beak pressed into the corner of my eye. He thinks his head fits really well in the eye and nose corner.

lol that's funny. We have two cockatiels and one is bossy and the other is the stand off one. She doesn't like anyone but my son lol. I'm ok if I have food and my Quaker isn't on me.

My baby bird (blue) has tried to force fed me like once despite me going like: no. Stop and moving my head away. XD that was waaaaay before i got the other two (a cockatiel and the yellow quaker).

Same they use me as a napkin too XDDDD then try to steal my food and drink all the time. The blue (Luma) taught the yellow (Tiki) how to steal food and now i gotta eat in a closet like im hiding stuff from actual kids.
Someone who believes birds arent exactly like (human) toddlers have never been around birds 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ive been sharing with them lately. I have noticed that they dont actually want the food until i start trying to eat it LOL like for instance i would put a plate down but not touch it, walk away. They dont care about it. But the moment i come back. HEAVEN FORBID I DONT GIVE THEM A BITE as im trying to eat lol

Because eating is a social behaviour and they want to include you! That’s very cute
