popcorn bird

so one day, one of my people was stretching out a hand towel over their head and talking. i saw it up there - this nice big soft perch. it was calling me, so of course, i landed on it.

my person let me hang for a few and then decided to let the towel perch slack and snap it back. pop! i was in the air a couple of feet.

with my bird determination, i landed back on it.

pop!

landed again.

pop!

and so was invented the game of popcorn bird.

sleeping in

living with people that like to sleep in is not particularly fun if you are a bird.

birds like to get up with the sun, make some noise and celebrate the new day. the way i do it - wait until their first movement and then burst out in chatter and song. luckily they don’t keep me covered. :)
as for the dogs. they sleep all the time anyway. they just don’t get it.
