Ooooh is Popay as clever as the Harris's we had at my old rehab center? There was one that would stack rocks on the door to his enclosure do that they would fall and hit you on the head when you came in :3

Popay is an introvert and mostly fearful. Rarely aggressive; only if he has to be, or if you're a rat.

His enclosure does not lend itself to stacking rocks to fall on my head, and I have not noticed other devious behavior. That does not mean he is not clever though, he has also given me some of my worst injuries, because they were calculated for maximum effect and not more immediate/reactionary strikes like other birds give.

Sounds about right :3: They warned us that if you had a Harris out on your glove to tie two knots or it would have one undone and be gone before you could blink.

Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantam

I can't even spell it let alone pronounce it. Mille Fleur means "thousands of flowers" which refers to the scalloped patterns on her feathers, reminding someone of flower petals.
