omg that is so funny.one of my sisters asked fajr for a kiss. clover made a kiss noise ( any time anyone says anything with "kiss" in it clover usually makes a kiss noise) because its mainly one of her tricks and its adorable. it was funny because fajr actually kissed her though and clover made the sound effects >U< :monk: :gcc:

ok so clover has been flying for a while when once out of fright she freaked and flew. and its been around 2 or 3 months now and she seems pretty happy about it. but now she has caught on to lemons flying habits. flying on heads. it can be annoying troublesome and since shiraartain has come back he has been aggressive towards me again so i only pet him once in a while and i wont be able to look frward to that moment where i live an aggressive free fajr life again. :gcc: :irn: (yellow) :monk:

You will probably be fine with Fajr when Shiraatain is not there.

Don't take it personally, my dear. They all have a chosen one and, sometimes, it's not us.

he still likes me a bit though i tease him once in a while by putting a towel on him and he crawls out. he thinks of it as a game and he likes it
also i was petting him a while ago and now he is crawling around my lap saying fajr and making double kiss noises which is what he does when he wants a pet when he wants a pet around me he lunges for my fingers and i only found out today that he thinks of it as a game and uses that move when he wants a pet. also everyone in my family agrees that i was his replacement for shiraartain while shiraartain was gone

If you put your open hand with fingers spread above your head when you see him coming at you he will divert his flight to somewhere other than your head. An open hand seems to work better than a "no".

yeah i found out that waving your hands above your head works too... BUT I HAVE A HILARIOUS UPDATE ON CLOVER! so i was asking her for a kiss and my sister grabs my arm. i say "oowww~" because she grabbed my burn ( which is healing up.. i rubbed my elbow really fast on rubber on accident) so after a short talk between me and her i go back to clover and lean down to her whereas she gave me a kiss and i ask her if she could give me one on her other side. i move to her other side and i thought she was gonna give me a kiss but she actually grabbed a few stands of my hair. so i take my hair out of her beak and me and my sister are laughing. then we hear an " oww~" and we look at clover. in my mind i was like oh my god she is such a fast learner! and on the outside i am laughing. so far that is the funniest moment with clover. :lol:

Clover is learning fast.
When I am busy and not giving Myrtle my full attention she sometimes does something to me and then says owe. This only happens when I am busy.
I think of it as a bad kid. A kid always getting in trouble just to get attention.
One day I was very busy and did not realize how many times I told her "no". She flew to the top of the refrigerator and said "no" in every voice and volume that she could while flipping around. It was funny but I then realized it had been a "no" day and she was talking back at me.

Quakers are incredibly smart! People don't give them enough credit because of their quirks (cage aggression, loud and frequent calls) but I think they are as smart as grays, I really do!
