Things your bird does to spite you...?

[idlepirate]

Does your bird ever do something esspecially just to spite you or to have a laugh at your expense?
Lorenzo has a new habit of pooping, the moment I hang up freshly cleaned towels/clothes, directly on them!
Seriously I have to pay for laundry here and only do it twice a week (one for darks one for whites) and its usually the whites...I hang up the towels in the bathroom, within 2 minutes I can blink and theres a lovely green line from the top of the towel all the way down!
Same goes for when I hang up tshits on clothes hangers and have them hanging to dry hell go ontop and mark them off. He knows its wrong and seems to laugh and make somekind of a satisfied grin at me while flying off to hide from me to pretend it wasn't him.

How about birds that refuse to go back in their cage and throw a tantrum the moment they know you're rushing and late to go somewhere. Waking you up super early on your only day off? dropping things off your table for you to pick them up again----just for them to drop them again and get off at watching you..... things like this:)

Pigpen and No Name don't really do anything to spite me. But Pigpen, who doesn't usually like to be near me, has gotten in the habit of landing on the bed next to me and acting like she's going to let me pet her.. only to fly away from me when I move my hand.

Cheney Bird, on the other hand, knows exactly what to do to push my buttons sometimes. If I put him back in the cage because I need to go somewhere or would like to sleep, he will break out and perch himself on top of his cage. This morning I needed to run to the grocery store for some things and when I opened up my apartment door, I see this little green feather puff sitting on top of the refrigerator looking at me like "I did NOT say you had permission to leave!"

Cheney Bird also likes to scream as soon as I fall asleep. He likes to bite me when he hears the phone ring.. EVERY time he hears the phone ring. I can't even hold him while I'm on the phone anymore. And as soon as I change his water, he will poop in it or take a bath in it.

Merlin does the "oops I dropped it" game with everything he can get his beak on, and purposely drops his foot toys in his water dish.

As of ten minutes ago, Cheney Bird also decided it's fun to tip over his bath tub instead of taking a bath in it.

my old cockatiel used to fly on top of doors and poop directly on the door handle. My dad would grab the handle everytime and make a big fuss
When I watch movies/shows online rainbow will step on the spacebar of the keyboard and pause them so I end up paying attention to her instead

The budgies do the throwing stuff on the ground game. Anything that can be dropped, will be dropped.

"oops I dropped it" game

Perfect name for it! It must somehow be built into all birds.

lol, its more fun to watch you clean it up. Alot of birds somehow know when you're on the phone its so weird how they pick up on it. If im skyping back home he starts screaming "HELLO HELLO HELLO" forever, and then flies over and starts screaming hello hello hello into the mic too hehehe (but that is cute its just hard to hear whats being said on the other end)

be glad about that! its weird lorenzo doesnt poop on me or tries to go back to where theres newspaper as much as he can but thats why he does the towel/washing thing on purpose

I was on the phone today while changing their newspapers and Cheney Bird scaled down the cage and bit a chunk out of my ear! I could help but scream all kinds of expletives and normally I wouldn't. But it was a CHUNK out of my ear!!
