Shelley writes: “This is Cheeto the Hatebird. She bites everyone, including me… She has a vocabulary of the words ‘cheeto’ and ‘cheese’. also she imitates my mom’s security alarm, mimics our sneezes, does the ‘sexy whistle,’ and likes to ride on peoples heads. She enjoys tearing newspaper and plants into strips for fun. Sometimes this includes fine literature or artwork. She hangs out on a disco ball hanging from our mantle and spins around. she is a good bird, despite her vampiric tendencies.”
“She belonged to my mother in Florida for seven years, but mom couldn’t deal with the biting after a while, so I agreed to adopt her. Soon after moving her to brooklyn, she built a nest and laid an egg … She is currently building another nest, so maybe I will be treated with another tiny egg. PS: She really likes to sing along to dub and classical music.”
Such a cutie! Time to put your cutie on Daily Heights: [email protected]
i have scars on my left index finger from cheeto’s biting… but shes still the sweetest bird ever!
Cheeto is very charismatic, and you can’t help but love her, even though she bites you.
Sorry for the horrible capitalization in my entry. I wrote it on my treo at a backyard BBQ, but really, I have no excuse.
Last night Cheeto spent several minutes making a ‘doink doink’ sound similar to the ubiquitous Law and Order ‘doink doink’.
