My leetle white dove used to smell sooooo good, a fresh, dusty smell. I lost her a few years back, but she liked being snorgled on her back.

ahhaah. Sorry bout that Ming. I couldn’t resist mentioning that. I was so overtaken by such a cute pic. You should take it as a compliment! *wink* hahaha

Hey, Rick and Ming, I think your tiel and mine were separated in the nest! At our house we call what’s happening in the picture “hen capture” and usually only Daddy manages to do it. She pretends not to like it even when she has cleverly manipulated Daddy into capturing her! However, she likes to sit on my knee and nudge my fingers with her beak so I’ll scritch her, or to snuggle in the crook of my arm. She is a fussy girl but really very affectionate.

And Rick, with the glasses and beard, you look a lot like my husband, only his hair is reddish-blond turning silver. Do you get preening of the whiskers?

Thanks for all the fun comments! It’s so nice to know that a ton of birdies out in the world are getting attentive snorgling action. Our cockatiel smells like rainbows, sunshine, and fluff; she smells like sweet heaven. Sometimes she smells like sunflower seediness, millet, or popcorn, depending on what treats she’s had. She usually doesn’t like being grabbed as such in the picture (but who’s gonna win – daddy or baby?); she’d much rather snuggle up to our faces and bump her head against our fingers for an hour of non-stop head scratching.

Carla, Moosie, book_monstercats, and TM – that’s MY man! I’m the only one who gets to snorgle him and his eyelashes – neener neeeener! (He secretly thanks you for the ego boost and gives you a coy smile and wink)

i leerrrrvveee to snorgle my quaker “COCO”, he has THE greatest birdy smell in the world.Except when he takes a bath- then he actually has the “wet dog smell” weird;cant figure out why either.. other than that,he smells wunnerful!!

SEXXXY!!!!! Fuhget the boid! I’d like to snorgle HIM!!!

Cockatiels are completely snorgable. Our Ernie bird was dusty smelling, but completely loveable!

It reminds me of when I had chickens to love. They were huggable, lovable, good-smelling, and cuddly!

Snorgling birds is so much more fun than snorgling cats or dogs. Their feathers are so soft, and they make little adorable noises when you do it

uh. is he blowing his nose?
