Ah, thanks :hug:

There are a couple but psychics like her, with the ability to control Skins and Smoke's shifting, are very rare. She's actually (rollover to see)SPOILER

Volunteering at a zoo must have been quite an experience and orangutans are endearing animals (or so I've always thought.) And yeah, Skins' nails are closer to animal claws than human nails :)

Yeah, he's nowhere in Tyr or Vinnie's class in term of intimidating or fighting. He's a lovable galoot.

why are you thanking me? :O_o:
:hug:

...you forgot who you're dealing with eh? You already told me too much. :evillaugh:

well, I was at the ape department half of the time. it was awesome when I got behind the cages and into the enclosures, but most of my part could be summed up with "sweep-scrub-feed". it was quite the hassle and I got blisters after three days of that. so I ended up rotating between the birds and kitchens and then back to the apes.
that would make perfect sense. :p

indeed. :meow:

I trust you with the undercover information :iconthespyplz: and know you will use it well!

Ah, I guess that "sweep-scrub-feed" would be the majority of your routine - you've described my time with cats perfectly (being cats, they only love me when it suits them, otherwise I'm apparently just there to cater to their needs.)Blisters - ouch! Birds must have been nice as well (not sure about the kitchen but that's my own personal bias. I'm not good in kitchens :( My food comes out inedible and I tend to drop plates.)

:D

and I'm glad you do.

Cats...
well, first time when I got into the Loris they swarmed me. I had two birds on each shoulder and one even sat on my head for a while before I had to crouch down to clean foodremains from below a branch in their exhibit. Most of these birds are really friendly, but imagine a full grown Macaw flying at you.

me neither. I'm great at cutting stuff and shaping it nicely, but not the actual cooking part. ^^;

:D

Wow, the birds sound very friendly but I can imagine that a Macaw flying at you must have been quite nerve-wracking (they quite big!) At least they liked you - my sister is constantly attacked by birds. Don't know why :shrug:

Oh good, it's not just me. But hey, we have other talents!

don't worry, my own parakeets attack me too. I tried to pet one a few days ago and he didn't run away, but when I got near enough he bit me.

it's probably every other woman who isn't raised to be a maid. :p
yup. you have a talent at being awesome without breaking a sweat.

Birds are beautiful but strange creatures. I can normally guess what my cats are thinking (in their own cat-like way) but birds? They remain a mystery to me. Hope you'r fringe's okay. Maybe your parakeet was just in a bad mood?

Yep, I certainly wasn't raised to be domestic and I'm guessing it was the same with you.
You too :highfive:

bird-brained birds. :XD:
Nah. usually they just fly around the cage in a havoc away from me. or just swarm at me.

my mom has to make do with me knowing it in theory. ^^;

:squee: not buying it but still, :squee:
