#but sometimes I get nostalgic over the days when my key wasn't a chew toy

[bumblebee-moreno]

Ezra will constantly ask to be held under my hands against my chest just for the snuggles, but when I try to do the same exact thing to clip his nails, suddenly he wants to know what my bones taste like, and if that's not bird owner ship in a nutshell, then idk what is

#shift #I won't even have the nail clippers out yet #he just KNOWS #Ezra buddy: you wouldn't have to go to the vet to get your nails clipped if you'd let me do them!!! #but NO as soon as I so much as look at the nail clippers it's suddenly murder o'clock #in other news he won't eat his pellets unless there's also a dish of seeds in the cage #he likes his pellets better and won't touch the seeds #he just has to know there's worse options #which means i have to buy twice as much food as he actually eats #because apparently his seed dish is an ideal litter box #get a bird they said... it'll be fun they said... #look I love him #but sometimes I get nostalgic over the days when my key wasn't a chew toy
