Inktober Day 3 - Bait feat. Aya the Sun Conure.

So, there's a bit of backstory to understand on this one. I have a pet Sun Conure and as much as I love birds (like, it's pathological at this point) I never recommend birds as pets because they have specific needs that most people cannot address and are super high maintenance in part because of their intelligence which is around that of a 2 year old give or take. This is a story of Aya displaying that intelligence. Aya knows several phrases, many which he doesn't repeat, like "Get'cher butt in" which means "get your butt in the cage". I tried to teach him "bedtime" to mean "cage gets covered for the night" only being the idiot human that I am, I would give him head scritches before closing the cage door and covering it, all while repeating "bedtime" so his understanding of "bedtime" was "Head scritches". Not... the intended lesson. Now when he wants his he'd scratched he repeats the word "bedtime." Well, ok, fine, that works. Derp. Well, at one point I'd royally pissed him off, probably by handling cloth because he hates cloth and will bite me if I'm holding and messing with, say, a towel. Like ~furious~ finger assassin birdie. So I made him go back to his cage to cool off so I wouldn't get the whey bitten out of me. Right before I close the cage door, he slicks his feathers down and poofs up the feathers around his mouth (a sure sign of 'I'm pissed and wanna bite'), hunches low on the perch and ducks his head while staring right at me and repeats "Bedtime" very low and slow. He was trying to bait me into sticking my finger in the cage to scratch his head so he could bite the ever living hell out of me. It was the first time I could remember him actually maliciously trying to bait me into getting bit. He'd baited me into taking him places he wanted to go before but never used his "power" for "evil", though. Yeeeah, I didn't fall for that one. I shut the door.
