Cutest Bird Ever!!!
So Amanda (@HobanWash ) is on a business trip for a few days, and I’ve been hanging out with Pudge (he finally has a name!). He’s cute as all get out. I don’t really understand him though, lol.
He’s affectionate-ish. It needs to be on his terms, mostly, and it takes him at least 30-45min of hanging out to seem to want to be scritched or touched, but is beyond happy to just ride around on my shoulder while I’m doing anything - dishes, laundry, cooking, etc (and when I say cooking, don’t worry - he’s not able to get himself into a pot or anything). He talks a lot, but mostly just “pbrrrt? pbrrrt?” Like he’s asking me questions. It’s funny and adorable.
He mouths EVERYTHING. Like a puppy. Everything is examined with gentle bites/pinches.
But here’s my quandary - Per Google/videos/what people have said here, the head shake is a literal “no thank you.” But in these videos, he’s doing the head shake, but shoving his beak/face into my cheek or into my hair, where it almost comes across as a “please touch me” behavior. But he’s still shaking his head. So I’m well confused.
helps if I post the videos, huh?
