[@benjaminthebestbird]

@possumofantikka8160 Thank you for taking the time to read it. ❤️ And thank you for your appreciation of Benjamin. He is my itty bitty sunshine. 🥰❤️

[@possumofantikka8160]

n/p !! i used to do the same thing about hermit crabs.. they are so complicated to care for, their habitats are wrecked by people collecting them, and they almost never survive cause of their complex needs. i had a whole thing about telling people not to get hermit crabs. everyday i think about birds who need homes but i know what it would require. (because of info like this, thats why thank you)

[@Emilythematerialgurl]

Benji is very beautiful and so cute

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@@possumofantikka8160 I love hermit crabs! I wanted to get a few, but as soon as I read about how complicated it could be, I worried that a domestic life would not be good for them. But gosh darn it they're cute! 😀 Kudos to you for helping people understand this. I'm sure there are many hermit crabs who are much better off thanks to you! ❤

OMG! Benjamin was so entertaining this time. I've noticed when Mom is talking to other people, Benjamin talks ALOT. Not one to be left out of the conversation, no way. And that little laugh at the very end...perfect! ❤🛒😂❤

[@a_sea_oasis]

❤😂🎉 Benjamin was too funny. He was at ease in public performance. 😊

[@gth042]

I find it crazy considering how sensitive he is to things around him and what people have done to him in the past. This is the same guy who drops and hides at the appearance of a stuffed duck..?... ...lol,maybe when the cameraphones come out it puts him at ease -- "oh, they act like Mom. Must be cool".

[@a_sea_oasis]

@gth042 🖐😃 I think that momma Amy prepped Benjamin to enjoy these shopatoo trips. Have you seen Lil B looking so zen in his see-through plastic car seat, aka cage in Amy's truck's front passenger seat. He looked so courageous 👍 I also believe that B understands most of Amy's phrases. Amy taught B well from true ❤️ and compassion. Speaking as a mom of a tiny blue parrotlet boy, cage-free. My Bijou 🐦 treats me like a buddy bird.

[@gth042]

I agree. That's a hard-earned level of understanding. But, I'm sure it's very rewarding. Bijou treats you like a friend, and he just so happens to do that from the perspective of a bird. ❤

[@a_sea_oasis]

@gth042 Yes. I was amazed by my parrotlet. I received my parrotlet Bijou from my youngest brother. Brother's longtime gf gave him an ultimatum, Bijou, or gf. He drove 300 miles to deliver the bird to me. I named this bird Bijou based on an awesome Queen's song "Bijou." Love that song ❤️. After just two days at my place, Bijou was already on my shoulder and played with me. Birds can sense chaos or peace. I am glad to be accepted and trusted by Bijou. Thanks for sharing.

[@gth042]

LOL, usually that means one should stick with the bird. Best of luck to him. 🤣 ❤😄

[@gloriacapetillo4446]

Wow!! Benjamin the celebrity ❤❤ too cool. Hey Amy ❤️👋

Sometimes when he has a handle like that it looks like he's twirling a baton. He sure does like to entertain his audience! ❤

[@gth042]

That poop 'n preen did him some good! ...Not to promote someone else's channel, but you and Mr. B might enjoy the album recently posted by flac: "Antonio Zepeda - Brujos Del Aguatierra (1997)" ..ps, I don't know what that translates into and hope it's something civil.

[@benjaminthebestbird]

So I played this for Benji. The first 3 songs seemed to make him nervous - he was a bit on edge, so much so, that I skipped through them after about the first minute of each. But by the 4th, he became more relaxed. It was a more familiar sound. You know, I was thinking, this is what we should pump through radio dishes out into space. 😂😂 Thanks for the recommendation! 😀

[@gth042]

Oh wow. I'm surprised his reaction to music is that obvious. I figured they just tune out the non-harmful or irrelevant. Maybe that he can't, or doesn't, is part of his "damage". Sensitive little charmer. ❤

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@@gth042 Yes, he has shown me when he dislikes any music that I play. It's quite interesting. I think part of it is that I am so familiar with his behavior, that when he's "off" I can tell. And of course, if he really dislikes something he screams. I think anyone can pick up on that cue... 😂

[@gth042]

He does have well-tra...You are an attune observer. So, Mr. B is more into classical or more chill stuff. 🤔Takshi Kokubo "Oasis of the wind II A Story of Forest and Water" That's the most chill I can think of on YT. If he does any jazz, he'll probably need to start with Dave Brubeck. He seems to like when Uncle Shawn plays.

[@benjaminthebestbird]

@@gth042 I'm not sure what "well-tra" is... 🤔 I will check out the Oasis in the Wind II. Benji does like drums of all kinds, so I bought a few and Uncle Shawn (my brother - feels kind of weird to call him Uncle Shawn 😂) plays them for B. I tried, but it took my attention off of Benji and he did not like that. Benji time is Benji time, not mom-plays-a-drum time. I'm afraid I can't get my head around jazz music, personally, so other than one "Natural Jazz" CD we have, I probably would not find myself seeking it out. But if I ever decide to try, I will turn to Dave Brubeck. 🙂

[@tracyjacoby2382]

Everyone should not only watch your video but also read your entire description because it's 100% TRUTH! I respect and love ALL Birds but have no desire to have one in a 1 bedroom apartment, they would outlive me no doubt then who would take care of them? Thank you for Benji's wonderful care!🥺🤍💕💕
