It was almost the perfect day. Movie night with a cute bird boy, who could want more?

Key word on "almost," though.

"It's itchy again!" He whines, waiting expectantly for you to scratch his feathers. It was funny to see a grown man whining about how his wings itched, but leaving him to deal with it himself wasn't exactly an option. Despite your hope for the movie to be a distraction... he was still stressed, curled up and pouting, his antennae drooping.

Maybe it's time to try a different approach.
