Handyman, Handybirds

We needed the building handyman to fix a cabinet door in the apartment and, of course, Chris had to oversee everything he did.  Chris is naturally curious and he has a particular fascination with this cabinet and is always trying to see inside of it, so he was thrilled to get a closer look today.

It's a good thing the man likes birds and isn't afraid, because he had one or the other or both on top of him the entire time.  Chris even tried to remove his glasses and threw a dish towel over his head, which was pretty hilarious.  I think he wanted to play peek-a-boo with him when he did that.  The handyman didn't mind.  He asked me to take photos with his phone.  When Holly got in the act they had him cornered in the kitchen.

Holly even started to groom the man's pants.  I think he might have been looking for an opportunity to bite him, because sweet Holly gets a little defensive at first, but when he decided the guy wasn't hostile he flew on top of the garbage can and gave him some space.

Surrounded by a captive audience...

Finally, Holly lost interest in the maintenance and decided he'd rather have Chris groom his head so he joined Chris on the counter and lucky for him Chris obliged.

Some brotherly love
