So, he's not plucking his feathers. He's decided he's a feathered tweezers. I have a few little hairs in my chinny chin chin, and he's made it his mission to pluck them.

He started this project last night and I must have more than I thought I did because he has continued it this evening and nothing will dissuade him. I offer to pet him instead and I get nipped. I try whistling his favorite song and he'll answer once to be polite and then right back at it he goes. I try to move him to my shoulder instead of my hand and he reaches under or crawls down onto my chest so he can go back to work. I do NOT have THAT many.

While I do appreciate his efforts on my behalf (and I'm considering having him do my eyebrows next), I would like to play a different game OCCASIONALLY.

Perhaps I should hire him out as a personal grooming assistant. How much should I charge?

I'd split it with him, of course.
