Buttons, the weiro, gets so furious if I don’t pay him enough attention that I am beginning to think I might need to invest in some sort of protective helmet.
Today, for instance, was a very busy day and, after letting him out of his cage this morning, I didn’t see him until this evening and he flew straight to my shoulder and started pecking angrily at my face, ears, head, neck and fingers. When he’s mad, he makes this miniature screeching noise which sounds a bit like radio static – not very pleasant.
It’s okay now. He’s calmed down and is settled into my neck, preening himself and making unscreechy noises – little chirps and whistles – and nuzzling in. In a moment he will probably do the eye kiss thing, after which I will put him to bed in his cage, which he hates to begin with, then almost immediately falls asleep (I know because I’ve had a peek).

Hi,
He certainly wasn’t a happy little fellow, until of course he got back you attention. You just have to laugh and wonder what on earth goes through the minds of some of our pets. 😀
And today he’s giving me the cold shoulder – go figure!
You have an angry bird. I have an angry chihuahua. I love that dog, but he’s the most emotional pet we’ve ever had–very high highs and very ugly lows, lots of barking. But he’s ours, and we love him.
The mood+personality thing with animals is so interesting, isn’t it!
