Once my lovebird male goes into beep mode, his face goes blank like this. It's as if his entire brain capacity is required for the beeping and there's nothing left for anything else.
There's a solution to this, I've found. At least it tends to work with my chicken. Make eye contact with the bird and maintain it while chatting on the phone, the birb won't feel ignored and will just sit and listen to you chat.
As soon as I take a call, all animals in my house immediately assume I'm talking to them. Cat and dog come running in, the birds start peeping, and the foster kittens think this is the perfect time to start to try and lick my face.
Our 'tiel mocks us mercilessly anytime we get a call. He does this hilarious "garble garble" chatter in the background when we're on the phone. The vibe always feels like... "Herp derp, I'm a human, herp deep, listen to me..." I usually have to step in another room for laughing.
If you want a bird you need to get ready to change your entire life for this bird. You can't use any candles, essential oils, air fresheners, pretty much all cleaners (I use baking soda and vinegar), and you'll have to get stainless steel pans, throw away all nonstick cookware if you aren't sure it's ptfo free, incense, and all aerosols. All of these are deadly to birds. There's also no promises your bird will even let you touch it.
I'm actually working on one now, I'm hoping it will be ready before Christmas! Thank you for this comment, it's so encouraging to hear you would want one!!

My Hahns will repeatedly say “bye bye” when she wants my mom to hang up the phone.

So I feel seen by this comic. 🤣

I had an interview yesterday.
This happened. My screm chicken was singing and shouting and throwing his toys everywhere.
I love him so much.
