"The Boy" here. Piper is a very smart bird. He has figured out that if he stands on the track pad of my laptop it is difficult for me to use the laptop and I have to pay attention to him. Even if I move him just next to the track pad and scratch his head he will move back onto the track pad so that he know I am paying full attention to him.
So the other day it was business as usual and Piper was on my track pad getting a head scratch and Joey came and landed next to Piper. I took the hand that was scratching Piper and used it to scratch Joey for a little bit. I had every intention to go back to scratching Piper. Piper didn't see it that way though. He looks up at me and gives me a look. Then he backs up over my keyboard and poos there! It all seemed very deliberate to me.
As I was typing this post Piper came and I had to move him a few times in order to finish typing!
You know what? I tell you, these Lovebird brains are highly underestimated by the general population. They ARE very intelligent, some would say, even more than their giant cousins.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how little Piper was feeling and what he was thinking in this moment: Righteous Indignation! Like I said in another post here, I hope Piper is firmly perched in the highest rank of this flock's pecking order, a well-deserved spot. Seniority rules.
LOL!
ReplyDeleteHe has a huge personality.
Trust me, he ranks high in pecking order - always first. He wouldn't have it any other way ;)
