Dinner with a cockatiel...

[fashionfobie]

Pi totally ninja'd some of my lunch the other day. He was pretty sure I didn't see him running off with it. So cute! He will typically carry off more than he can chew and will turn away from me and hold it with his foot snacking away. Then after tossing the remains on the carpet, he eyes my plate for more. I play better defense when it is something salty or generally inappropriate for birds...sadly not always.. he did grab a bite of my partner's chicken nuggets and Pi was VERY proud of himself. When Neptune flies to my plate, I have a hard time not allowing him something. That bird has me trained very well.

@SandraK Now that you mention it, it does seem like Emery is just waiting for the perfect opportunity to steal food from me. She acts so innocent about it too.

Isn't funny how they end up manipulating us. I have been beginning to feel like my fid's a genius, & I'm the moron!

This brought back such happy memories for me! Lucy was the world's most talented bird when it came to snatching things off our plates!
(see my signature)

Fergus and Fiona have not attempted this, and I don't think they realize it's possible, since the only places they land are a) windowsill perch b) old travel cage c) back to their cage! Harper... don't overdo it, you'll get fat, or have heartburn, or somethin'!

Yep! He sometimes has succeeded in getting a lil’ pebble of my bread roll! He is being trained not to right now and I moved his cage to my room for now since it’s getting hot and likes to look out the window.

Do any of you ever get that feeling that it's like being in a cartoon? You're the dead or dying creature w/food and you have a row of vultures sitting around you just waiting for you to give up the ghost so they can have your plate and everything on it?

haha yes!

That’s so cute! I have the same thing with the dogs just waiting and staring.... waiting for you to let down your guard! I have this one dog who will pretend to be fast asleep next to us and if we go to the kitchen to get water or something he is suddenly wide awake and up on a chair trying to snag a little something!
