Begging Birds

[greenwoman]

Clancy the CAG is somewhat civilized about it, but Giles the BCC is downright demanding when we're eating. He wants some of whatever his flock is enjoying, and he wants it *now!* I've never had an animal so demanding of food, and that includes our dogs and cats I don't know where he puts it ... he's only about the size of a cockatiel

My female cockatiel is a TERRIBLE beggar! i have to make sure shes in the cage before i eat or she will be in&on whatever im eating,that and she screams if she doesnt get what she wants. Dang Princess Bird!

Whenever anyone is eating he'll fly over to their shoulder, lean forward, and make his "delicious" noise over and over.

I realize that's terribly annoying, but it's also hilarious. XD

My GCC, Kiwi does this. She bobs to beg and goes "tap-tap" (says/does) and tends to burglarize everyone else's food and doesn't want them to have treats when she has her own.

Pickle is generally quite curious about whatever I'm eating. He'll even kick up a fuss if he hears me in the kitchen! It's worked to my advantage when it comes to introducing him to things as he'll at least TRY something if I'm showing interest in it.

I don't think you have to worry about his nutrition--it's true that the little beasts are also little thieves. My Blue-Headed Pionus stole the buns from my veggie burgers last Friday...Thieves!
