Laker is not annoying - nope not at all. I love his little growls & his tender ways. I'm not too fond of his woodpecker attacks but they are very rare.
Rio on the other hand - he still won't step-up but now that he really wants to be friends with me he keeps landing on my head - to the point that I can still feel his tiny claws on my scalp. Then he
loudly chatters at me as he leans over to see my face, slowly sliding and scraping his way down. Once or twice I can stand - 5 or 6 every 1/2 hour is getting bad & like I said it has been a few hours & I still have the sensation of him roosting on my cheekbone.
