Zora does not like being touched. Fingers are for stepping on, not for scritching or any other crazy idea we might have. So when her head and neck if full of pin feathers and she just looks like a little hobo bird we have to pin her down and give her some well meaning scritches, and boy does she let you know that she is not happy.
*please ignore the overly fuzzy husband, we had a window of oppertunity here and we/he grabbed it.*
There really has to be an easier way to do this. Something just a tad less traumatic for both bird and human.
She is soooo not happy here.
Leto is the same way, I have to do the same thing, and from the way he protests, you'd think I was killing him. Silly birds!
ReplyDeleteI was rather relieved to see, in the second picture, that Bear is wearing shorts, as it wasn't readily apparent in that first picture... o.o
