No, that's fine. :D That one cracks me up because he's just digging in the blankets for no reason making his Chewbacca noises. He rubs his beak across it and likes to stand on it so I guess he likes the way it feels. :smuggrin: My goofy guy loves to scratch like a chicken.

I can't get over how pretty he is! Funny when my brother was little we called him Buzzy. Not sure where it came from but it stuck. Probably because he used to eat anything and everything lol. Probably from Buzzard lol. He's beautiful! Macaw is my dream bird! :xflove:

The first one of you that manage to take a pic of Buzz with a green veggie in his mouth will win my forever admiration. You will become all mighty for me! :worthy::goodluck:
Well it's not green, but Buzzard actually ate some of a raw, baby carrot! That is until he got tired of it and dropped the rest to Nomi. *sigh* At least it's progress! :D

He is so beautiful. At least he tried his carrot before pitching it. Keep it up Buzzard, good job.

Hubby and I are enjoying a lovely Saturday afternoon. The 'too girls are beak grinding on each of his knees and I look over and see my big goofball dining alfresco! :laugh: He has opened his feeder door from the outside & is sitting on the edge of the bowl chowing down on his pellets.

Forgive the graininess, I had to zoom in so I wouldn't disturb his lunch.

:rolleyes: Oh yeah, nothing out of the ordinary.

Now he's on the perch above that standing on his wing feathers and preening? That looks a little counter-productive there, Buzz.

Anybody else's birds stand on their feathers? He's done this several times but I haven't been able to get a picture of it til now. His left foot is in the middle on both sides' feathers & his right foot is about halfway up.
:think1: (see middle pic)

Uhh, Buzz? What on earth were you thinking, boy?

I mean, Rupert holds a tail feather in his foot sometimes to help him preen his butt better, but I've never seen a technique like Buzz is doing. Gotta make sure those wings don't try to pull a fast one on you while you preen 'em, I guess? :rofl:

Yay, Buzzard pictures!! :fairy2: He’s adorable as always! :heart:

I’ve never seen a bird stand on their feathers and while they preen. Buzz is a silly boy! :D Our cat, Yoda, holds his tail down with his paws while he grooms it. Never see something similar with a bird! Love those pictures, though!

Sometimes when Taco's preening, he'll shift his wing and then get really mad at it because the feather he was preening moved away. :rolleyes:

Looks like Buzz found the solution to that oh-so-confusing problem!! :D

No! And I have never before seen that. :hmmm:
You are weird Buzz! But in a great way! ♥♥♥

Yes you can be right about that. :)
So if Buzz isn't a dumb a*s, he is a smart a*s. :p:D

Oh Buzz, you're just too cute for your own good :xflove: with some wacky quirks!

Peanut does hold pickles tail feathers or stands on them to try and steal his food so he can't run away :lol:.
