You are probably wondering what's up with that subject title.  We'll here
it goes.  I got this cocktiel about a week ago, very young, actually
driving me crazy.  I have 12 ferrets, 2 rehab ferrets, 2 guinea pigs, 2
parakeets, one caged mouse and one free running mouse, and this one
cocktiel.
 
Here goes the story.  I get Kinman the ferret who needs to be hand fed and
we go upstairs to do our usual stuff.  I decided to put the cocktiel on
the bed with us.  As I am feeding Kinman I noticed the bird getting upset
and irritated.  So, I decided to proceed to feed Kinman and then see what
is up with this crazy bird who is alway hollering.  By the way, his name
is Holla.  As I am feeding Kinman the bird decides mommie is not paying
me any attention.  And all be dog gone if that bird did not climb up the
ferrets back, up the front of my shirt and perched on my shoulder.  And
yep, started hollering in my ear.  Kinman just looked up at me like what
is his problem?  I decided to tell my husband.  My husband said me should
name him scrambled because just stepped all on the ferret like its no big
deal.  This is what we figured.  When he was still in the egg, he got
josled alot.  Thank goodness Kinman is the baby he is.  Had it been Diesel
the Weasel.  It would have been a whole other outcome.
 
Just another story in this pet playhouse.  Out of all these animals, this
bird is driving me crazy.....
 
But, we will all survive.
