@jaylach..post up some more pics of your Cockatiel if you want...
LOL! SOmetimes you get more than you ask...
Just Terrabit catching some rays on my window screen. His talons are fine enough that he causes no damage to the screen.
This is dive bomb attack mode. A robin landed on the lawn. Don't know why but he does NOT like robins!
He like this dish towel rack as a perch... well except for the time a cloth slipped and he fell..

Actually the rack originally was a jewelry rack in a store for hanging necklaces.
Not often but now and then he will perch on the edge of my glass. He never tries to drink any. I think he just likes the chill from the ice.
He tends to like high places to perch.
