My fear would be getting bit by one.We used to have parakeets.
One in particular was a sweet heart.
It would take a bath under a drip of water in kitchen sink.
It also would sit down to eat our food at meal times
Flew over by me one time,, asked 'piece of cheese.'
Sigh,, wish hubby didn't mind birds flying about the house.
Even that small of a bird like to chew on the wood work.
Ouch!The only time I got a painful bite from a parakeet was from a female bird.
She didn't like me, would try to bite.
I saw that look in her eye as she walked up my hand.
I drew my blouse closed.
She still found an opening & bit me on my breast!
She went to a new home.
Wow! I would have never guessed.Yes, cockatoos can really bite.
Son's bird loves to bite me.
Mutual dislike .
She' heckles me when we are there.
He takes her outside,Let's her fly loose.
Don't know why a hawk or eagle hasn't gotten her.
Okay, that makes sense. Boy, are they ever close! No separating the two.He got her as a baby,, hand fed her, so she's his Velcro bird.
I think he may have few youtube videos of her .
One is her playing in the rain or bopping on porch railing.
Sheis supposed to be white but she gets into whatever he's working on.
Dirty grey bird.
