The trust this bird has in its owner is obvious. I’ve never seen this small a bird be so affectionate/hand tame.

I found a baby mejiro on the ground under a tree once. It was the exact size and color and shape of a jumbo cocktail olive. Tempting as it was to pick it up and try to raise it, I elected to leave it and hope its mother came back for it.

These adorable little birbs like to hang outside my bedroom window. I think they see their reflection and attack it. Still adorable. They also like to drink nectar from the flowers on my aloe plants. I had no clue people keep them as pets.

As any chicken.
And this poor white-eye.
I dare you to try this on a T. rex as soon as Jurassic Park opens.
