>> Arkee. My love. My friend. WHAT PARROT?
You activated my trap card, my friend. Let’s go into a story about a bird I love because I’m in the mood to talk about him.
So, my uncle once had this parrot. They were mean to each other (my uncle’s an asshat, poor bird was defending itself) and it was made worse by the fact that my aunt didn’t like the yelling of the bird all the time, so she covered the poor thing’s cage a lot.
Birds don’t like this. Birds will grow very stressed if they’re kept like this.
Besides being an absolute asshat, my uncle’s also a risky idiot. So he goes about kissing this bird’s head like a stressed bird will do nothing to him. Parrot attacks his lip. Uncle attacks back, being the asshat he is. Aaaand this bird doesn’t like people very much anymore! Things get super awkward and my uncle is like “I can’t keep this asshole bird anymore, I’ll just give him away ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
So I’ve had this green baby for many years now because of that. His name is Zeca and he’s an absolute menace to everyone and himself when left outside his cage. (Flies everywhere, flies into things with no regard to his own well being, tries to attack feet, tries to climb everyone, etc.) He loves yelling and headpats but because he has a history of abuse, he still tries to attack even if you’re not being mean to him. (It took forever to even get him to allow headpats because he has an issue with being touched, and also I keep my nails somewhat long to try keeping my fingertips somewhat safer.)
(Note: he tried to attack me after I took this picture, I love him)
