These have been some great beak days lately! Been meaning to do a beakpost, just a matter of finding some quiet time to organize my beakthoughts.
I love my beaks! They eat beakloney, they sometimes charge around asserting their beakthority.
I notice though how beaks are not over-eaters, compared to pigeons for example. The pigeons will eat until they bust. Just non-stop pecking machines. Beaks will nibble on a little beakloney, eating what they need and leaving the rest. They seem to have more dimensions to them than garden variety birds. They're not afraid of people for the most part. They can be quite playful. Quite communicative to the best of their abilities.
I mean they only have 2 sounds. Either 'bdddddd...' or 'co-co-co-co,' but they seem to use these sounds with different pitches and intensities to communicate different things. Sometimes a beak will come right up to the screen door and just give a soft series of bddddddd sounds to announce that he/she wants a little beakloney. If I'm in another room, one of the females has taken to co-co-ing real loud to get my attention. She seems to know which room I'm in and co-co's near that window. then I go to the back door, beakloney in hand and she meets me there.
I wish everyone knew the joys of beaks!
