    Ornithologists do something similar when they have to handle a small bird in the field or in a lab: the ice cream cone grip

    “Shayla Cochran: Picture from my Ornithology class showing the difference in size between a Cooper's Hawk and a Sharp-shinned Hawk. They don't look thrilled to be held like ice cream cones, but it's their own damn fault for being ice cream cone-shaped.” A photo of two hawks, both small enough to be held with a single hand restraining the lower part of their folded wings and their legs to gently immobilize them. This grip results in the majority of their body sticking up like a goofy bird-shaped ice cream cone. The hawks look almost identical in coloration, but have noticeably different sizes.

          Tell me you have never had a pet bird without telling me you have never had a pet bird. If any animal were to ever be into bdsm, it’s going to be birds.

            Aw, actually I did have pet cockatiels as a teen. (Sadly, not for long - my parents didn’t know how dangerous Teflon was, and my babies paid the price.)

            They didn’t care to be held like this, but boy did they love face scratchies.
