    I got to pet one once, he closed his beak on my fingers but because of how long the break is, he couldn’t apply real pressure. It was pretty interesting to feel a bird play with your fingers who couldn’t actually hurt you.

    This is compared to my little conures who instinctively nip out of fright if my partner pulls back the shower curtain in the other room haha. Ah… My poor fingers.

    They probably could have determined this without beheading the poor critter.

        Wooden sticks are natural, being hit by a stick could be classified as natural causes.

      Much less practical to show off your skull coloration when you’re trying to get laid.
