HA! For the ultimate in avian cacophony, and some real toenail curling shrieking, try cohabiting with 2 umbrellas, a macaw and a nanday conure (Juniper Ratbird the nanday on the warpath picture above)...aaaaaaargh! My little tiel Kukulino is an absolute mellifluous-toned angel compared to the other chickens, singing prettily all the time. Tiels can be real biters, mine hates hands - and all my birds love being petted everywhere - but loves lips. Kisses are cool, but hands cause him to start quacking like a duck (anything that makes him angry, like, say, a book which is not in its right position on the bookshelf in his room, makes him quack)and chittering, followed by a nip. And those tiny beaks can HURT. I used to have a dusky lory, and the very worst bites, worse even than from my macaw's enormous beak, were from my over-excited lory. She always drew rivers of blood. Deecey, Senegals are soooo pretty! I didn't know they had such good verbal abilities! Best talker I ever had was my crazy little dusky lory. She also shrieked incessantly in a way that makes fingernails on blackboards sound fabulous. She got cursed at a lot (not by me), so whenever I did something she didn't enjoy, like cover her to stop the screeching, I would hear a little voice from under the sheet exclaiming "Goddammit Bird!". You're either a bird person or you're not...and I am, in spades. Love hearing the stories about everyone's chickens! And Noggin, I love your macaw model. The military is especially wonderful, and the poses, especially those involving two birds, ROCK! My only petite (and its very petite) issue is that the tail is short-ish. Macaws have unbelievably long tails. I know the problem is making the wings fold and open, and you've done an incredible job of it, not to mention the texturing which is excellent. Are you going to do a greenwing macaw texture for the package? And when will it all be released?
