I don't think I ever imagined having such an incredible bond with a bird. He is pretty intelligent and very train-able. He 'gets' things very quickly and he's super affectionate. He loves to snuggle into my neck and nibble my ear, preens me at least twice a day and gives me little 'kisses'. He likes to make a lot of eye contact and loves one on one time. He loves to sit on my left shoulder and if I take him to the food gods aka the fridge and pantry, he indicates what he wants to eat by craning his neck towards it and makes a trilling noise when I select the right item. He has me well trained!That's amazing! I had a dog that would find my oldest when I asked him where she is. He also knew what I wanted if I asked him where his ball, tug, Kong or our rabbit was. I do think chickens are a lot smarter then a lot of people give them credit for. You must have an amazing bond with Ferdy![]()

He amazes me as he is so friendly and yet is very good at being a roo, finding food, escorting them places, protecting them etc. He managed to learn all his roo duties without the benefit of his dad too.
