(adult female Indian Ringneck, Psittacula krameri manillensis)

Schiele is my pet bird, named after artist Egon Schiele. She is the most determined bird I know. She is very clear on what she wants and what she doesn’t want. If something is bigger than her or heavier than her, she has to see if she can push it over. She will fly into the shower every day and screech until I turn the water on. And of course, she insists on having a bath in the basin after her shower too!
