Birdie doesn't like cameras very much, despite the fact that she's a total ham.
She uses her crest the way we use our eyebrows. "What are you looking at?!"
(Notice her orange eyes - when she came to live with us 12 years ago (!), her eyes were black... we thought she was a he for that reason. She's been sexed using DNA, but her orange eyes were our first indicator that we might have misnamed her.)
Something you might have realized, but just in case not, here's something to think about: most birds look almost silly when viewed head on...
... Little Bird is no exception.
