Have you ever seen a bird hold a shoelace in his beak, while balancing on a sneaker, and rubbing his own neck with his foot? #sisterrain #birdmom #adoptdontshop #parrotsofinstagram #conure #ahelpingwingparrotrescue #piper #neverhaveiever #neverhaveieverpiperedition
*Zygodactyl is the definition of a bird’s feet having two toes pointing forward and two backward. When I cleaned out the basket I kept for when our nephew visited, long after he had outgrown its contents, I donated the bat and wiffle ball, the children’s books in good condition…
Piper fascinates me in many ways. It makes sense, after all, he is a parrot, I am not. Piper can sometimes be territorial over his favorite toys. For example, he may attack your hand if you are replacing the sticks he has pulled out of his hanging wood toy. At…

They are prehistoric. Dinosaur -like. Reptilian, even. They are zygodactl: two toes in front and two in the back. They are amazing, my boy’s little feet. When Piper eats, he holds the food with one foot while balancing on the other like Simone Biles on the beam. He can climb…
