SG,
Please tell me you are not one of those people who let their birds eat right out of their mouths???? My ex's grandmother would let her parakeet take food out of her mouth and it grossed me out so bad. I think thats why I have an aversion to them being on me. LOL ! Have you ever seen the bird called a titmouse? We had a nest of them a couple of years ago and when the babies were learning how to fly, one of them flew out of the birdhouse and landed right on me and stayed there for about 15 minutes. It was pretty cool. For some reason, it didn't freak me out alot.
