Billy is scared of a lot of things... but the worst is the fluff that comes out when he shakes himself. He watches it in terror and if it floats down anywhere near him he flies off shrieking. So, he is actually scared of his own feathers...
Oh and he doesn't like birds flying either. He hates it if Ernie flies around the room. Maybe he is scared he'll get stuck in his hair

 

Lmao I love the pictures and the text it's hilarious lol.

Cindy is scared of new toys, at one point her cuddle bone, but now she loves it and the tip of her tail is purple. She runs away from certain foods I put in her cage and has hissed at the food.

If your bird does a lot of flying I bet she loves those high ceilings and cupboards. I can touch the ceiling here without even trying.

 

Lol guess they all scaredy cats
Anything what is new. Checked shirt had on once but lucky didnt like it at all so i chucked it out.
My hair in a towel or me in a towel
And the famous rug what i got (they can land on it which is very weird)
Taco everything at the minute lol hiss hiss hiss hiss

 

Dally and Tsuka are terrified of funny things, butsar definately beats me lol thats hilarious a bird afraid of his own feathers.... made my already cranky-woken-too-early morning....

List of fears:
THE Gingerbread man stuffed animal
Green peppers
stuffed animals
pink polka dotted dog coats (just dont go there, they drop their own feathers trying to get away)

 

LOL Cookie isn't afraid of much. She gets a little startled when I sneeze, but my sneezes scare pretty much everyone so that's totally understandable.

She's a little weird about my computer charger, but that's because I almost it her with it once. :O So, it's kind of a good thing.

PS, Arnella is gorgeous.

 

Let's see, mine are scared of the big blue bouncy ball so I threw that out when we moved (I figured a three day car ride with it would not bode well for them or me), the red ketchup bottle, caps for the milk cartons (don't know why, hubby try to put Fuzzy on it once and he tried to fly away screaming).

 

Aero is afraid of towels, the millet holder I bought him, and loud noises ( if I make a sudden loud noise he'll take off doing crazy bird circles around my room) they are little scaredy tiels lol

 

Louie is afraid of my 18 year old cat, Dixie. (Even at his young age, he knows what a predator is). He hisses at her, not realizing that she can't hear him. I had been trying to see if we could all three sit on the couch together, but it doesn't look like that's going to work out. To quote Woody Allen, "“A lion and a lamb can lay toghether, but the lamb will get little sleep.”

 

Finn is afraid of towels on my head, some songs by Lady Gaga (he screams and tries to run away but other songs by her he will dance to) and my beach ball.

 

Haha, there's some hilarious ones there -

Sar and Billy - what is he thinking? Maybe he thinks his feather fluff is another bird??? :wacko:

WereAllMadHere - yes, Arnie loves the high ceilings, but she likes to hang around near us lots and she didn't know she could eat her cuttle bone when I first gave her one, she likes to perch on it though and then screams and carries on when she gets stuck on the sharp edge :wacko:

lperry82 - so lucky didn't like your shirt so you threw it away? What a harsh fashion critic! I would have draped it over Arnie's cage until she liked it. I'm an evil mum.

Well I know about the frightful gingerbread man stalking Dally and Tsuka, & Pink polka dotted dogs, well yeah that could be scary. but green peppers? What's so scary about them?

Cookiemonster's cookie sounds brave, I would probably want to steer clear of a giant sneeze also >.<

Roxy and Fuzzy - milk caps, haven't your heard? They eat tiels for breakfast. If you see a milk cap it's best to fly away screaming blue murder...

Sarah and Aero - Arnie hates towels too, because they mean only a few things - shower, clipping, or travel. She's not afraid of them though, she stands her ground and fights the towel, also tissues. she's my little ninja.

Moya, it's probably a good thing Louie is afraid of your kitty. your cat is 18 years old? wow! (can he even move quick enough to chase a bird?)

and birdlover4life, Lady Gaga is scary.

 

Mostly new stuff. And if my dog, Henry, moves too fast. The birds hiss at him and he's quick to scoot away (he's gotten in trouble for being too interested in the birds). Sometimes I think they like to tease him when he's resting, they sneak up and preen him. Meanwhile Henry lays there with a look of terror on his face. So maybe they're not that scared of him? Lol.

 

Lol yeah lady gaga is definitely scary.

Duckybird, Cindy use to put my parent's bull mastiffs into place all of the time, if they got too close she would peck their noses. They learned to Never mess with Cindy at a young age, but they still liked to sniff her. She would get onto the floor and run around with them, and try to steal their food and water. Then when they came up for some food she would bite at them lol. She also bit at their tails when they wagged. She got into the habit of making bark noises when the dogs would go crazy. Sometimes it was like she thought she belonged with the pack of dogs lol.

 

Finn is a music critic!!! At least he has good taste in music to not listen to Arnie the ninja tiel

 

Belinda what a great idea It was something like this http://www.letsbuyit.co.uk/product/31708909/women-s-tops/fitted-checked-shirt#images

 

Echo isn't afraid of a whole lot. Mostly he gets spooked by sudden, loud noises, but even that doesn't happen often.

Fox, on the other hand, is scared of just about everything...but he's still fairly new, so that's probably why. The first time I picked up my Nintendo DS while he was on my shoulder...jeez, you would have thought it had fangs and an appetite for birds named Foxtrot.

 

Freddie's not afraid of anything! He will take off and fly, screeching, if the Quakers are startled by something and THEY take off screeching (and Quakers are scared of EVERYTHING), but he's just showing off how well he can fly. Any excuse will do. LOL He plows right into other birds' cages, he tries to start arguments with my dove, who's like six times his size. I sort of wish he was a little more cautious, but he thinks he's an eagle and nobody can convince him otherwise.

 

Haha, lperry - I like that shirt! If Arnie is scared of anything I just play with it around her showing her now unfreaky it is. She'll now go up to the brush and play with the bristles, but as soon as it falls too to near her or I pick it up, she sprints for it.

The red wiffle ball I've made into a hanging toy for her... as long as it doesn't touch her she will play with it, and as long as she's sitting on the toys' heads, that's safe. Apparently they won't eat you if you sit on their head.

 

Belinda: Yes, my 18 year old cat still has the occasional burst of energy. Sometimes she'll start tossing a toy around and chasing it, but she poops out pretty quickly (just like her adoptive mother!). From now on I think I'll spend quality time with each of them separately. No sense taking any unnecessary chances. I just didn't want my poor cat to feel like she's been replaced.

 

LoL, poor Arnella you have a scary house
Spike was really scared of these owl pajamas my friend got me for Christmas. When he seen them the first time he hissed at me and I took him out and he jumped on the floor and went running. Luckily I got him use to them and he is no longer afraid of them

 

Poor spike lol

 

I thought of something else Louie is scared of--the budgies! Ever since I made my home office into a "bird room" and moved everyone in there, I've let my four wild budgies fly free when I'm there to "supervise." They love to "buzz" me and Louie as they fly around the room. Louie's little head feathers stand straight up and he gets really skinny.

 

Haha, Spike jumping on the floor and running from the big bad owl jim jams... I love it when they run. Like little penguins with their stumpy legs... so cute.

Arnie is now terrified of my betta fish I bought yesterday. I thought she might find him entertaining and might like looking at him - but when I put her down next to the fish bowl and he glided around the fish bowl past her, she did a double take, went all skinny and let out a little shriek and ran away. She didn't like the blue and red spikey monster.

Moya, perhaps Louie feels threatened by the budgies - they might gang up on him . I have a feeling that Arnie may be terrified of a new cockatiel when we get one. I had a horse once that was terrified of foals and if we rode by one in a paddock - they would come bounding up excited to see another horse and she would try and bolt away from it and snort and carry on.

 

And I was hoping the budgies would be good company for Louie when I was away at work instead of a source of torment. Hopefully they will all eventually get used to each other. I was also hoping the budgies might warm up to me if they saw me and Louie together. Well, they've only been sharing a room for about a month. Maybe their relationship will improve in time.

 

Probably, a month isn't very long how many budgies do you have?

 

I have 4 budgies--all female. I started out with two that I got at a pet store. I then bought two more from a breeder, thinking that these two might be tamer and make the first two tamer. No such luck. But they do enjoy each other's company and seem very happy.

 

Just curious, Belinda, when do you plan on getting Arnie a brother or sister?

 

I was wondering the same thing
