this bird imitating r2d2 is the cutest thing ive ever seen
What a nerd
He’s even the right colors.
do you realize this bird is a fan of R2D2. this bird heard R2D2′s sounds & decided it sounded like something that should be imitated. this bird is a star wars fan and made the choice to do a bird equivalent of cosplay
Birb is not tied down! What you’re seeing are jesses - they’re the equipment that the falconer holds onto while the bird is on the glove. Partially for control and partially so the bird can have some movement if it bates off the glove.
There’s more information on this bird in this older post - spoilers, but this is one of the cool responsible scenarios we found out lots of info about!
update: cornwallis is a girl but after i asked her rachel has decided to keep the name the same because it’s hilarious
update: rachel’s mother has not yet taken to the bird and it appears to be a gradual process in the making. on the upside, madame cornwallis has taken a shining to vivaldi’s four seasons, my chemical romance’s the black parade, and the pokemon theme song.
