Is my bird plucking me??

[Cinnyluver]

Whenever I let Juni sit at the computer with me, he starts to rip little pieces of lint off of my shirt. I've seen Cinny pluck Sugar before and the behavior he shows when he's around her. Juni's acting similar. Could me maybe be plucking me? He does it whenever I turn my attention away from him.

I bet it is a form for preening and a way to get your attention . My GC male Nippie(trust me good name) form of preening is trim eyebrows pull hairs out of freckles and give me a GC style shave(owwwchhh) Ill be honest I know he is not trying to hurt me he is so cute doing it he will look at me sideways move close move around the hair and pull it out quick.

Juni just wants to keep you looking your best.

Well, he grooms me all the time, but this seems more like an annoyed behavior.

Maybe he doesn't like the lint, if he's being more aggressive about it? Neelix does not like longer sleeves and will chew and bite at them if I wear them lol. All bets are off if I'm wearing a jacket... Yikes... He gets very very mad if I do that

Charlie *loves* any shirts of mine with shinies or lettering... or anything similar. He seems to do it out of curiosity, but it bugs the heck out of me! Don't know why, but I'd rather him preen my arms, freckles or otherwise than pick on my shirts! And I'm not a big clothes person, either. If it fits, it's comfortable and I like it, I'll wear it! And not care about fashion or looking great! LOL
