I remember asking how old a cockatiel should be when they are able to hold food to their beaks with one foot and eat it. This was early on in my birdy slaveship. TD kept trying to do it, but couldn't quite make it.

I was told that it wasn't something cockatiels could usually do. After awhile, TD quit trying.

Today, TD was doing his "Tickle tickle tickle" thing, raising his left foot while saying the words. Then he, very clearly, said, "tickle tickle tickle TD" and stuck his head under his foot and tickled himself!

Is TD short for something? "The dinosaur" "the devil" "too dorky."
All of the above! No, really it's for Terry Dactyl. If it turns out TD is a female, it will stand for Terra Dactyl.
Funny, George just asked me today if anyone has asked what the TD stands for!

Jaws, Shredder, BITE, Nibbles, Nips.

I'm fairly sure TD does so well because of all that attention he gets from his Slavie.
