[return]*OCD: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

I'm not even joking, I swear this parakeet has OCD. You can see areas around the cage where she would jackhammer repetitively, wearing away the paint in minute, specific spots. She would jackhammer your hand, or a toy, or another 'keet. You could even see the sharp beak marks in the soft rubber punctuating her aggressive exclamations against the world. Her behavior was worse when she first came to us (we adopted her from another home); it's much improved since then.
