So with my sister-in-law staying with us over Thanksgiving she brought her lovebird “Big Bird” to stay with us as well. Now while Big Bird spends most of her time outside in her cage on the Tiki bar to enjoy all the sounds of nature, today was a little chilly so she spent much of the day indoors. Inside we leave her cage door open so she can bop around on the living room table and hang around with the twins while they watch TV. But the bird is an attention hog, so while Tam was outside on the patio Big Bird decided to take a stroll down to the other side of the house to see if she could find suitable company. I soon heard a commotion behind me in my office, and there was Big Bird at the door, hanging off the fence that separates Peach the rabbit from the rest of the house. Peach noticed:
What Peach didn’t know is that Big Bird can be a royal pain in the ass (actually, nose or finger) if you get too close to it. Not sure what Peach thought this strange creature was, but the bird was only too happy to oblige, and proceeded to offer up a snout strike:
…leaving Peach to high-tail it back to his area just a little worse for wear (and, I’m guessing, a whole lot wiser). You could almost see the smug satisfaction on Bird Bird’s face, knowing she had nipped another of God’s creatures:
Peach, for his part, didn’t seem to suffer any lasting damage (physically or mentally) – ten minutes later he’s near sound asleep cuddled up to his stuffed animal friend:
Sweet Peach…bad bird.
