What gets YOUR crest up?
Jenihe80 and I were just touching on what your 'Tiel does to irk you (ie. Make you call him/her a little bugger)...

1. Zest like to sit on my head (See last post).
2. Zest likes to chew at my little labret piercing and any other piece of jewelery he can spot on me. If its not my labret its the little mole right beside it :/

-It irks me when he sleeps on his little food dish (if I forget to take it out at night). Doesn't he know that's bad for his little feet?

-He also likes to make a run for the front room when he thinks I'm not looking. It's not that he's not allowed in there, I just don't let him go into unsupervised areas. It is funny to watch him waddle as fast as his little butt will go in an attempt to pass by me though.

-Preening my face also gets to me. Sure it's sweet, but it doesn't feel too good when he bites off dry skin or plucks a hair. I don't mind when he plays with my nose ring, at least it doesn't hurt!

Yes... the preening... especially discovering my eyelashes for the first time! :)

But I think I'll post it here too. *wg*

I used to have a cartilage piercing in my right ear. Bella broke two of the earrings within a month. For a long time I couldn't let her sit on my right shoulder. I eventually had to take the piercing out (because my ears suck and get infected a lot).

Bella likes to peck at the many imperfections on my face. Like my beauty mark, any zits I might have, any dry skin on my lips, etc. She's a constant preener. I must look as pretty as humanly possible. *giggle*

Piper has the most annoying scream on the face of the planet. Shrill and obnoxious. It`s bad enough during the day, but when he does it when I`m trying to sleep in... I just wanna yell at him, or shake the cage, or throw something... or something.
Instead I have no choice but to turn over, pull the blankies over my head and pray he shuts up soon.

Thats really the only thing that bothers me.

Amigo claims the kitchen cabinet as her nest and attacks anyone who comes near it. It's deffinately a fight to get cereal out in the morning! .. and put it back in too. We've tried to get her to use a different spot but she always looks into strange places... we figured the cabinet would be safer than her other choices.

When she isn't egg-laying she annoys me when she starts screeching in the morning, no matter how dark I keep my room. If she hears anyone else in the house, she's up and wants out. (>_<)

My bird, Elvis used to do that too. It got so bad he started dive-bombing people who even walked by. We had to train him to sit in the windowsill or on a shoulder. He doesn't do it anymore but it sure was annoying when he did.

Soda definately does his share of SCREAMING at the top of his lungs. He especially loves to do this while you are watching TV.

Belina has two volumes: quiet and scream. Where Gen chirps the cute little cockatiel chirps, Belina has this high-pitched, ear ringing, loud-as-a-cockatoo voice that is a bit painful at times...she likes to let that syrinx go when she's perched right next to my face ^_^;

Gen likes sit on m hands whenver I am doing anything crafty. If the crafting involves feathers, laces or paper, all of it finds its way into his beak. That gets a bit tedious..e.e

Elvis likes to torment my husband, Stephen. Elvis is a sweetheart to me, but he feels Stephen is replacing him so he gets all protective of me. It's kind of cute because he tries to be all valiant. They're getting along better as of late. Stephen is trying to bond with Elvis, one on one.
