Avian

My cat successfully begged entrance on strength of wanting cuddles more than she wants to eat a bird.

Got to get rid of the bird, though, it's driving me mad. Sometimes it flies at my face. Why does it do that? Is it hungry? Because it's still got food. But I give it more food and then it's happy? It makes noise at times. It won't leave its cage except for the face-flying excursions. Or sudden flights in the dark, where it smacks into the walls and ends up behind the printer. Done that twice now. It seems to be scared of me. It enjoys eating out of my hand. Its beak is chipping away in what I hope is a positive sign. It keeps stretching its wings instead of flying. It won't eat anything but millet.

Cats are so much easier.
