OMFG BIRDIES

[farla]

I huggled birdies! In my hand because they were tiny. You have no idea how deliriously happy this makes me. I've had tiny pet mammals on and off for most of my life, but the chickens are really my first foray into avians and the chicklets, being flightless, could pretty much be handled like hamsters. The holding/restraint of tiny, angry birds is new and something I've been kind of horribly anxious about, but now I know how and know I know, and I'm actually very good at it and didn't hurt them at all and they bit me and it was adorable and they were adorable and :D so much.

Edit: Nononono, guys, these were not!chicken adults getting unwanted cuddles. Chickadeedeedeedee!

Your chickens themselves are only slightly more adorable than the way your wonted bitchiness melts into childlike enthusiasm whenever you talk about them.

In real life I babble stupidly in response to anything fluffy or scaly, as well half the slimy things.

But mostly I'm happy my animal competence range is expanding, I'm always really scared something will come up and I won't know how to deal with it.

Haha, I'm much the same.

Actually their heartbeats are way too fast to distinguish. Their little beaks were adorable, though! You wouldn't think something so tiny would hurt that much.
