I'm having too much fun with Polly. I just went ahead and skipped quarantine and showed her to the boys. Poppy danced for her, Beck hid in a corner, Beaker seemed indifferent and Jaid licked her eyeball. Seems about right.
I only had today before I go back to school tomorrow, so I guess I was left to spend it with Polly and the crew. Polly seemed sort of inanimate, so I had to show her how to behave like a real parakeet again.
Unfortunately, I accidentally decapitated her, so we had to cut lessons short for the day to recover.

And you thought you wouldn't have to worry about hormone control! She's already acting nesty, and all it took was a little dancing and one eyeball lick.
Did she recover well from the decapitation? Our plastic-feathered friends can be resilient about stuff like that sometimes but not always.

Your birds are brave. My grandmother gave me a parrot that moves and chirps when you press a button, my birds hated it.

She's okay. She looked pretty stiff this morning, but once I got her battery juices flowing, she was alright. Although now she has devolved a sharp twitch to the left.

Don't worry, twitching the head sharply to the left is normal. If it was a sharp twitch to the right it would be something to worry about.
