The male half of the couple owned by the bird always got this look in his eye whenever I'd come near.
He was an exuberant chap and quite disconnected from his bird's emotional state, which is to say that, for example, he ignored the bird's cheeps of discomfort while making the bird dance on his hand in time to the gypsy drummers. Things like that.
I was content to let the bird crawl on me, crawl under my hat, and he enjoyed the breaks and the quiet. I'm pretty sure Mr. Pirate thought the bird wouldn't come back, and given the choice he might not have.
And BTW, my vote is for the beard, too! Very nice!
Thank you very much. It comes in a little bristly, and unless I keep it conditioned every day, Michelle, and Katie for that matter, won't kiss me. :)
