At first he looked like a mean little Grumpy-Puss... Then Ta-Da! "I'm SUPER, THANKS FOR ASKING!!!!!" Is that what a beak trim, friends and an insane amount of Millet does for your little buddy?! His beak looks great!

It's the reward for getting man handled. :)

I don't know. He still looks grumpy to me. Handsome, but grumpy. Don't think I would want to cross him! LOL
:backout:

How much did your fingers get trimmed... Some little beaks can cause serious damage in a determined package.
No problem. I let him bite down on one of my (Tika) nerve damaged fingers. Can't even feel it. :lol:

I do the whole thing in about 45 seconds (yes I time it). It's over before he even knows what happened.

My right little finger is a bit like that probably from the fall and broken arm maybe damaging some nerves. It's worse when I work all week with it. Plus my age and damage from constantly working with my hands. I was taught to towel em when doing things they are homicidal about but they all can fight and riggle their heads around when you least expect it.
The really old guy that had Lurch, his hands were so grizzled and tough Lurch would bite him and he'd just laugh, me not so much.

Looks like you did a great job, he might not have liked it, but it turned out great.

He is just the cutest little guy I could just squish him :swoon: with love
I dunno... That third picture, he looks like he's giving some serious stinkeye. He's like "Back off, puny mortal, with your squishes, or I will END YOU. And step away from the millet. After handing some more over."

Of course, given that he is adorable and itty bitty, it's slightly less intimidating than it could be.

He is definitely dictating the situation. There's enough for everybody but for some reason he's greedy. :)

The first thing I noticed was the happy (and grumpy) millet birdies.
The second thing I noticed was "holy crap do those remotes have all their buttons!? How is that even possible?" :lol:

You sure are handy with that, his beak looks good.

:lol: He's probably also not amused that his stink eye is what makes him even cuter :heart:
