Camera Critters - BiPolar Bird
This bird is at a shop in Maui and I had so much fun feeding him. The shop keeper told us he was a “bipolar” bird and to be careful when handling him. I thought a bipolar bird was hilarious…being that I’m bipolar myself. We were told to carefully wiggle our first finger until the birdie put his head down and then we could scratch him.
Another lady came over and tried to pet him directly and he bit her! *giggle* Okay, it’s not funny but she didn’t follow directions and she was warned. There’s even a sign!
We had a great time at this shop and bought a lot of plants…two of which have already died. We just don’t have very good luck with tropical plants. But we still have two Plumerias that are hanging on to life. I hope they live!!!

Ha, I’m kind of scared of birds for that reason. I always think I’ll get bit. I’m just not used to dealing with them and I’ve never had one.

What a cutie. Good thing you can read. Parrots can give nasty bites if they are in the mood.

I am always amazed by the arrogance of people who think they can just clomp up to an animal and touch them. If a person touched them in that manner, they might bite, too! The bird is lovely!
