I was working on some code and he was scanning around the office for things to drag off to his nest. (exactly what he planned to do with an electric razor in his nest I do not know but he's tried to steal one this week!!)
Anyway he came across a newspaper folded in half on top of the freezer and promptly dragged it down to the floor.
He proceeded, as normal to try and rip the paper into pieces he can easily carry to the nest but managed to pull out a whole sheet of paper.
I looked over at him just as he grabbed one corner of the page in his beak and took flight.
Somehow the downdraft from his wings seemed to flip the loose end of the paper up and over the top of his head, producing what I guess amounts to a blackout mask.
I got a smack on the top of the head by his left wing as he went past on his way to the pen. He then kind of crash landed against the top step, shot back up into the air and tried flying in a tight circle, all the while keeping this newspaper held tight in his beak so that it covers his whole head..
I laughed so much my ribs were hurting.
The worst bit was having to go and take the paper away from him after all that entertainment because I've decided the paper just soaks up moisture from the air and makes his nest nasty.
Wires if they are not important and he's not going to get himself tangled in them, he can keep, but paper doesnt go on the nest anymore.
Doesnt stop him trying to steal bits of paper if he gets a chance.
Idiot imprint.
