my cockatiel amalthea has discovered many ways to get my attention without straight-up screaming. most of the time, she nibbles my finger or taps my cheek or lips to ask for a treat.

today, she's learned that my hair can be tugged on to receive attention, too

@Kilroy most of the birds i've cared for haven't reached this level of communication. impressive for her size xD

"clever girl"
