Everyone should have a musical bird. Deeter is mine. He likes music. If I practice in the music room he screeches to get there. If I let him stay on my shoulder he will climb down either arm to watch what I do, picking hand or freting hand.
Weird you say, well watch the video. It’s not that easy to practice guitar and sing with a bird on your hand. Bird on a wire maybe but not a bird on your hand. Well let’s say its not a club act.
Two amazing things. I played a couple of songs and he refused to come down my arm for the camera until I threatened him with the end of music (at the front of the clip). He promptly walked down to my hand. What is that?

Then at the end he starts pinching my arm. Ouch! I had to stop and divert him back up my arm. Whereupon he proceeded to do his business on my sleeve. Talk about wearing your fart on your sleeve!
Then I remembered: when he nibbles and nips on me it’s the sign he wants to be taken back to the cage to do his duty. A housebroken bird, what next?
Enjoy.
