Obsession with teeth?
Okay, I thought that Charlie Parker had a case of the spring hornies and had fallen madly in love with me, but now he's acting weird to my friends as well. He is completely obsessed with teeth--he looks into your eyes and then tries and tries to beak your front teeth. He'll bite them gently and won't stop trying to get his head inside your mouth to bite and lick them--and he won't give up if you close your mouth or put a hand over it, he'll just try to open your lips with his beak if he can't see your teeth. Nothing aggressive or angry, he's very gentle but he won't quit. Any idea what's going on?

Jibby went through an obsession with the inside of mouths once. He would go for the tongue or teeth, so we had to be careful and keep him well away from open mouths, because he did hurt. But he grew out of it. Odd!
Just remember human saliva isnt very good for them. But I know sometimes they can just be curious buggas!

That's it exactly--when he isn't actively trying to lick your teeth he'll sit on your shoulder for hours with his little head poking around your cheek while he stares at your teeth with that fascinated look in his eyes. I guess we'll just hope that he gets over it and learn to accept the little green weirdo!
OMG I thought MY green featherbutt was the only who did that! Nala will try and try to climb in my mouth if I'm not careful. If I take a snooze in the afternoon and she is out, I have to make sure my mouth doesn't flop open or I will have a mouth full of IRN when I wake up!! LOLOL
