She steps up beautifully about half the time, the other half the time she’s a nervous wreck. It’s been a little over a week that she’s been here now, and she’s chatting more every day :heart: Right now, her favorite treat seems to be dried pasta. She definitely likes crunchy things:roflmao:
She goes look very nervous almost steps off your hand to nothing glad she’s settling in a bit so clever birds must be so hard for her such a change

she looked like she had on fluffy pants
That made me think of "Do these pants make me look fat?" :embarassed: They do make her look adorable, though. :xflove:

And I love her velociraptor voice! love.gif So cute! Our girls are both goffins, but they have completely different voices; Puffin is loud and clear while Luv Bug is raspy like Patty & Selma from The Simpsons.

I love it when she fluffs, she cracks me up :roflmao:

I can’t recall if I posted the video of her hollering for me in the morning - I’m on the opposite side of a door to a room that she’s in, at least 10-15ft from the door, and she’s SO LOUD :laugh: She sounds like a dinosaur with her RAAAAAAAA but is also able to channel her inner seagull sometimes.

She’s grinding her beak right now and it’s so awful :roflmao: I posted a thread about how I know it means contentment and happiness but it’s a sound that makes my skin try to detach itself, and I didn’t ever think about how much louder it is with a bigger beak.

Y’all I might die. I’m going into full body shivers with this sound.

Beak grinding is one of my favorite sounds. :xflove:
You know how there’s a sound that makes your skin cover in goosebumps and makes you feel icky all over?

That’s beak grinding for me :roflmao:

Tteok and Pudge both love to do it when they’re practically in my ear :roflmao: For me, it’s like when someone skreeks a fork across a glass plate or something like that. Sends my whole body nearly into convulsions.

Burt beak grinds nearly every night. I love hearing beak grinding but there is a particular way that Burt does it just once every now and then that does that styrofoam squeak or nails down the chalkboard thing to me. I don’t know what he does differently but every now and then it is a squeak more than a grinding sound and it’s awful.

Well! Today I found out she loves jazz. I had on The Ray Pack (Live at the Sands, my personal favorite), and then a playlist of female jazz singers (Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, etc) and she was having a grand time. She particularly loved me singing to her - hence no videos :roflmao: We were dancing all over to An Evening in Roma and Fly Me to the Moon… we’re having a good time.
