1. My rooster

Blackie,would fall asleep when I pet him,eventually he'd nuzzle his head into my armpit and snore in his sleep.

He was my chickenfreind.
I miss him to this day. I took him everywhere too.
I made a sling where my arms were free and he'd ride around in it.

He was a single black chick in a sea of yellow ones.That's why his name was Blackie.

He was a jungle fowl the ancestors of all chickens.
He had 4 inch Spurs on his feet but never hurt me with them, He was beautiful.

Watching the vid makes me miss him and makes me wish I could have another rooster in my life.

6. Blackie for an unknown reason

Never pooped on the bed, on furniture or in my arms,or in his sling. He went outside or in the coop. I guess it was instinct to not dirty ones nest?

He somehow knew he was not supposed to poo there

I also had a pet rat that wouldn't shit or pee on me my furniture also. She peed on me once and saw my reaction and never did it again. She was a young rat when it happened. She used her cage after that. Sometimes she did a specific chitter to tell me she had to go. I put her in the grass those times. She too went with me everywhere. Had her when I was in residential housing program. I still miss her too.Her name was Ivory,named after my sisters awesome rat. My Ivory lived to be 5 years old. Amazingly old.

3. Oh, hell no!

I love birds. Any kind of birds.
But a living, breathing alarm clock in your bed?

NO! Just no!

I would go to hit the snooze alarm and I would flatten the bird!
