Today I was just thinking to myself that one of the cutest things about birds is that their faces don't change very much.
They would certainly never need botox or facelifts. They even age so gracefully that most 60-80 year old parrots still look young.
But then I thought a little deeper into it and came to the conclusion that even though their faces don't change that much I'm still able to read Blu pretty well just from his face. So they have to have some sort of micro expressions or something?
I know macaws blush and also some birds get fluffy cheeks but I'm not referring to that as facial expressions. I'm just referring to the look in their eyes. Or the way their beak sits, I guess.
It got me curious to start Googling and I found this Exploration of whether or not birds have facial expressions
Does your bird have facial expressions? Pictures of examples of moods would also be fun, if you feel like posting some.
