Just For Fun:
As promised, here is Berry, the only member of the flock who has discovered the BIG SECRET to getting to the forbidden area of my room - AKA, THE BED!! She definitely played me for a fool the first time - I was lying on my side watching YouTube with earphones in only to have cockatiel talons pierce into my cheek and give me the fright of my life!

"Nay! This cunningly wrought barricade of gossamer fabric shall not deter me from mine quest!" I don't know why she's all medieval in my imagination, but let's roll with it! Lol!
Your laugh when she gets through is priceless as well!

I am laughing so hard at Berry! She was really moving once she made it under that curtain!
Salty's and reeb's laughs... priceless.

A worthy entry, as Rudy echoes what so many of us are feeling at the moment! Lol!
Delete this?!? Have you gone mad, man??? That video fits this contest to a tee! I started cracking up immediately!
Is it just me, or do cockatoos have have the most hilarious sense of humor? They just do the weirdest things, sometimes, that they just have to be doing for our benefit!

It's funny to look back on how far we've come with our little Yoda. I remember when we first brought him home he was so shy and so unsure of himself. He was barely confident enough to hang onto my arm, and struggled to stay on my shoulder. It took time to gain his trust to pet his head, and he hated being upside down (like for nail clippings).
Now he flies, he climbs, he jumps, he burrows into my hair and snuggles all over us.... and one of the stranger things he likes, he LOVES being held like an ice-cream cone, with his feet on our thumbs and our fingers wrapped around him. When my husband holds him, he snuggles into his hands and ends up on his back in my husband's hand, and lies there just chewing his feet and looking crazy-cute.
Here's how Yoda likes to be carried around... like some kind of limp banana, he lets his head hang back so the world looks upside down to him... Silly bird!!!

Haha Syd does exactly the same. If I keep him upright - so the ice doesn't fall out - he looks at me intently knowing that I am going to sing to him and he joins in in his own inimitable way. The men in white coats are on their way for both of us!

Well, only if it is indeed a "Just For Fun" entry. Otherwise, it's definitely good as an official entry.

I love that pic, and I think it's amazing how far Yoda has come in your care. This perfectly demonstrates what I always say about keeping birds. You get out of it what you put in. And you've obviously put in quite a bit.

Thanks Tami!!! Thanks Anansi!!!
I love my Yoda SO much, I'm like a proud parent. I want to brag about him and show him off to anyone and everyone, but few people really understand how it is with our Fid's. That's why I love the Parrotforums. YOU guys really GET it. We don't have children and probably never will, but we've got Yoda (and maybe some day another Fid may join our flock) and we love him SOOOO much!

Amazing entries so far! I know there are a bunch more examples of our birds either acting the fool or playing us for fools, so let's keep them coming!
