cluckingmad Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Freckles, my lovely 18wk old speckled sussex is convinced that she's a parrot... everytime I give her a cuddle she jumps up onto my shoulder, and there she stays chirruping away down my ear happily Been trying to get photos but she's a bit camera shy and flies down the minute dear PH gets the camera in sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My little Willow is the same I was bent down putting the washing in the machine (in garage) and she flew on my back! If I bend down doing the poo pick in the run she snatches her opportunity also what is it with these parrot chickens??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My Grackle jumped on my OH shoulder, it was really funny as he won't even pick them up. Never seen him move so quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batcatz Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have parrot chickens too. My lavender likes to perch on my finger and so does the Columbian. I don't know why. You should have seen my real parrots face when I bought the lavender in to the house. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Barbara's made it up to sit on my arm but she hasn't ventured onto my shoulder yet - got a feeling she will though! It doesn't have to be anything to do with food either - sitting reading a book is a sure way to get her sitting on my lap pushing said book out of the way so I will stroke her!!

Groovychook Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 My Hilda love a good shoulder perch too! If I am stood remotely near the netting, she will launch at me from her side and happily chirrup away for as long as I'll let her. Yesterday she supervised me raking the lawn She's a very jealous girl too and gets flustered if I pick up one of the other girls... I'm never allowed to cuddle one of the others without her joining for a perch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 oh thats lovely! Wish all my girls were like that - my hybrid ladies don't do being picked up for cuddles - the pure breads are more snuggly, but theres only really Mollie the exbatt who'll tolerate a cuddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
