Imagine that, my fingernail is attached to my finger. No chicken, I don't want it removed. Really, I don't think it needs to come off. Stop it! That is attached too...it's my nose! Naughty chicken...
The only jewelry I ever wear is my wedding band, and she will leave that alone. However, she likes to beak my fingers all the time. That's fine, until she gets to a nail. For whatever reason, she thinks those just shouldn't be there, and they would be great fun to remove. Or she will chew on my nose. Whole beak around the top of my nose and she just chews. It's gentle, but it is really hard to see well enough to do anything when her big red head is in the way.
Sometimes I wish I had a lazy, perch potato. She isn't even content to sit on my shoulder while I work on the computer anymore. She has figured out that if she sits on my hands, it's really hard to type. Or if she acts like a cat, and just sits in front of the screen. She usually doesn't mess with the keys or anything, just sits in the way.
Now, so I could type this, I put her on her stand which sits in front of the living room window. She is worse than the dogs when it comes to people walking down the street. Dogs bark, she hollers. She even gets the dogs going more than they get her going. She will see someone, and puff up, doing her "I'm a big bad bird" routine. She almost reminds me of a 'zon when she does it. She'll fan out the tail, puff the feather, hunch over, and run back and forth charging anything that comes near her. So much for a calm, docile Ekkie.
