Well, I guess Talon is just a little strange in the food dept. She MUST have what we are eating, and if we don't go get her at lunch or dinner time, she will come flying out to the kitchen and land on your shoulder or hand so she doesn't miss out!
Caspersmum, She does the same thing with the glass when she is done drinking, pushing it away like that. We are lucky, she will say "Thirsty Bird" when she is thirsty.
