Quirks, Habits, etc..: he is a chicken... big chicken... generally will approach any bird to snuggle and if the reception is not fully mutual he will lift a leg and present his belly! also once he has zoned in on you or another bird as his new buddy/point of current interest... he will go to no end to reach them... even if they run or fly away he will do his best to follow you until he gets his hello done. He is also a HUGE fan of his happy hut!
