Lol, yeah Sushi can be foul tempered. Maybe it should be fowl tempered. Anyway, he came from a home with lots of yelling and breaking things, eventually the couple split up and then after a few months the wife committed suicide. The husband came back and when I helped him sort through her stuff he gave me the bird, a flat screen tv, and his baby brother (been with him about a year and a half now).
The bird gets crazy sometimes, I think he has ptsd. That was NOT a happy family, and he probably was traumatized by all the yelling and breaking things, knocking holes in the wall. He would only hiss at people and try to bite, drew blood on a lot of people. He and I bonded until he would sit on my head or shoulder, but he was so depressed. So I got him a friend. Now he doesn't care that the nice lady hardly ever shuts the door and feeds him treats, and gives him more than one toy to play with. (He had one that was so old the rubber in it was cracking, just that and a mirror for most of his life.) I don't like cages so I got cloths to drape on my tv and my bike, and they have mostly free run of the house (or just my bedroom unless I'm there to supervise). I make sprouts for them, took down my altar for them and put up several play areas.
How am I repaid? He attacks my toes or screams at me if I get near his lady friend. Actually, when he screams at me the poor confused little thing will sometimes fly onto my head and try to attack my hair, but then he remembers either that he likes me or that his bites get absolutely no reaction. So he stops and hangs out there for a little bit, kind of confused.
She's a sweetie (even though she doesn't come on my finger, she'll fly near me and birdy smile with poofy cheeks) but if he does something that requires a "no" he'll start yelling at me and attacking, making me give him a time out. Damn he's lucky I've got a soft spot for nutters.
I definitely can't leave twenties laying around, or anything in his reach that I value. Or her reach, for that matter. Even being a sweetie, she's still curious and likes to nibble.
