Okay yall, here it is, my most fun (and favorite) breed! And to no ones surprise, once again, it's the aseel! I haven't met more human friendly, fun, smart birds, that truly connect with you than the aseel. I got mine when they were two month olds, within an hour they were preening in front of me, ate from my hand, and enjoyed neck scratches. The next morning, they were flying on me by themselves, and preening my hair, and that for a two month old broody raised chick I think is incredible. They are extremely smart. Whenever I make a specific sound and open my arm, they know to fly to it, but they can also understand the difference in pitch, because when I have spotted something they haven't, I change the pitch, and they know they have to fly to me, no questions asked. Whenever they are out and it's getting dark, I can tell when they're done, I raise my arm and they fly on it, knowing I'll take them back to the coop. One of my favorite things to do with them is run. When I start running, they start running as well, but not in like a "hey wait for us" type of thing, but more so of a "oh that looks fun" type of thing. As you can tell, I REALLY love them, so here are some photos for you to enjoy! Also warning, I will share a LOT of photos

Wow, they sound really smart!
 
I feel the need to provide proof of how ridiculous my BCs are, apologies if this second post is unwanted.
I mentioned a hen trying to lay an egg under the rooster, I have photos. They were going around in a circle of her trying to get under his butt and him running away until she just popped the egg out.

Another aforementioned “snuggling”, of the same hen tucking herself underneath my frazzle. This is a fairly old photo, and poor quality, but if you squint you can see a head between frazzle’s legs.

My partridge bantam cochin has a quirk of constantly escaping her pen. Most recently she tried to go through a hole 1/4 of her size, for zero reason. It was usually just her to escape, but sometimes she’d bring guests. These are pretty old photos.

They are! I would share some photos of then on my hand, but something went wrong in the photo transfer and I don't have the photos of them jumping up on me as adults, so I will give you them doing it as chicks

This is intended to be a thread where we can have some fun! What is the most fun breed you've had or have? Not necessary your favorite, just the breed you had the most fun raising, or spending time with, or feeding, or even observing! So excited to hear all your fun stories and breeds!
Probably my LO and my BSL ♡

I raised all 3 by hand and to this day they are very affectionate. The BSL have a habit of tugging on my clothes when I'm not paying attention to them while my LO constantly begs for attention and has the unique skill of sounding like a goat :rolleyes:

Pardon me, but I'm REALLY bad with acronyms, so which breed is the LO? I know the BSL thankfully, but not the LO. Your BSL remind me of my ISA brown hens, they scream until fed
