I don't think I've posted this yet, even though it's an old video.

This is from about a year ago. That snake was a rescue, and she was given to me in that set-up. The noise the cockatiel is making is the noise he makes ONLY when he wants someone's attention. It's his, "I'm so lonely. PLEASE pay attention to me..." noise.

So, basically, he's asking the snake to pet him. It's pretty pathetic. And as the movie goes on, and the snake doesn't respond, he gets more and more desperate.
