Beady Little Eyes
I have four pairs of beady little eyes always watching to see what I'm doing, what I'm up to.Sam keeps watch intently, and like a little watch dog, will alert me with growls at anything he feels is threatening - such as a small stuffed dog half his size that was sitting on top of a shelf.
The other reason alertness is good is that Sam is ever hopeful I will walk into the kitchen and bring back some tempting morsel that is not a pellet. Ahem! (This shot of Sam also shows that he is soliciting a head rub, looking really cute and irresistible - and it always works...)
Chipper, on the other hand, often is more subtle in his watching.
If you look closely, you will see that Chipper's eye is right on me. Behind the basket is his favorite perch on the tree. He has purposely chewed a hole through the basket so that he can keep an eye on me - and anyone else.

We sometimes joke that our parrots are stalking us. And Thomas will often tell Rocky to "get a hobby that doesn't involve me!"
That shot of Chipper is so precious I can hardly stand it. And I understand why you can't resist Sam!
Yes, sometimes I'm amazed how much these little guys can give out - and understand! Of the cockatiels, Chipper is the more intellectual and scheming, while Charlie is bigger and stronger. But Chipper uses his psychological talents to his advantage whenever he can get away with it on the other birds...and me...
