Butter, checking his tweets after a guest appearance at Easter time.
This guy was a sweetheart his entire life (a Serama, though a rather big one). Never the least sign of aggression from him; you could just walk over and pick him up and he was perfectly content. I have another Serama that I never will be able to trust. Every once in a while, he is going to come after me. I've tried being gentle, I've tried roughing him up (just how rough can you be with a small bird that you could kill without even trying?!), but it makes no difference in the long run. He'll give me space for a while, but sooner or later, he's going to try it again.
Some birds may "come around" with handling, but I wouldn't count on it.
