HT :: Pricefield

//screeches softly since it is almost two in the morning
XD I created a birb character. A slightly gay birb character. I 'unno. He's adorable. I love him. He's my new child and I will hate him because of how difficult and long it took me to draw his wings.

Name: Pricefield (Price)
Age: 4 (appears 21 as a human)
Gender: Male
Height: 1 ft (Parrot Form), 5 ft 7 in (Human Form)
Breed: African Grey Parrot
Job: Official Fetcher None
Partner: Hari Iyer
Sexual Orientation: Demisexual (leans towards men)

Personality: | Timid | Clingy | Selfish | Caring | Playful |

~ TIMID :: Price wasn't given much attention with his previous owner, so he doesn't have much confidence. He is afraid of doing new things and has the tendency to apologize a lot. When he's asked to do something that seems too much, he needs to be coaxed.

~ CLINGY :: Price doesn't like to be alone, so if you are his friend or owner, he will follow you around unless given a VERY clear message not to (i.e. being yelled at or hit). He will withdraw from you as a friend afterwards, slightly scared of you.

~ SELFISH :: Price tends to feel jealous when his owner or friends are giving attention to people he doesn't know. It's nothing too dramatic. He just acts like a jealous wife afterwards, asking who they are and giving the silent treatment.

~ SYMPATHETIC :: Price normally feels the emotion given off by the person he's interacting with. If you are excited about something, he'll be excited as you but for no reason. He'll just share the joy and excitement. If you are upset about something, he'll feel upset as well and will try to make you feel better.

~ PLAYFUL :: Price loves to imitate small noises like ringtones, door bells, animal noises, and some types of music like 8-bit music. So you can bet he'll make you walk back and forth with the door bell noises and make you constantly check your phone for no reason. He'll also trick any animals outside like for example a cat then imitate barking noises to scare them. He will immediately stop and apologize if nobody's having fun, though.

History:

Pricefield was given as a birthday present to a teenager named Dolan by his mother. He was an active kid and wanted a dog though, so he didn't really play with Price. The mother thought Dolan would like a parrot instead, since they could talk and learn things. For most of the time, Price was left in a cage in Dolan's room (more like a pig pen) alone for most of his time. The mother would take care of Price when Dolan neglected to. Food and shelter wasn't what Price needed, though. It was interaction and socialization. Having nothing to do, Price began to pluck his own feathers. The mother noticed and felt bad, yelling at her son to take care of Price. Dolan still refused, since he wasn't the one that wanted a parrot. The mother decided to move Price's cage into the kitchen since she was there most of the time. It was a nice change from a smelly room to a place with fresher air and nice scents. Price learned her name to be Caroline. Caroline would always speak to him, making small talk. Price appreciated it, talking back sometimes. A year later, Dolan got expelled from his school, so they were forced to move. Caroline was too busy trying to move to take care of Price and of course Dolan still never cared about him. Due to that, Price went back into the habit of plucking his own feathers again. Caroline wanted Price to live a better life than the one he's having right now, so she gave him to a pet shelter. Price wasn't accustomed to the place, still plucking at his feathers. A volunteer decided to bring Price out of his cage and stay on their shoulder as they worked, talking to him as well. He learned their name to be Marque. He spoke a lot to Price, soPrice grew to like him, responding. The two were great friends at the shelter. Price learned small things like how to fetch items and unlock cages for Marque. Then one day, Marque had to leave. Price never knew or learned why. The other volunteers allowPrice to stay out of his cage, though. He helped at the counter, still fetching things. Price would say a hello or good evening to people who come and a goodbye or have fun to the people and animals who left. He was distraught over Marque's leave, but the distractions kept him upbeat. Little does Price acknowledge that he's up for adoption and the life at the shelter is again, temporary.

Extra Information:
~ Price doesn't have the stamina to fly very far so he "walks" most of the time.
~ He hates cages, since it makes him feel like a prisoner rather than a free being.
~ Price is good at not plucking his feathers as much, but he will still do it if driven.
~ He has a very quiet voice when speaking in his parrot form. In his human form, he has a slight stuttering problem.
~ Price's name was inspired by Call of Duty. From watching, he actually knows how to play.
~ Price tends to get cold very easily in his human form, so he likes to sit down and huddle in his wings.
~ When talking, he has the habit of nodding his head and doing hand gestures. His neck aches a little afterwards.
~ Price loves to perch on people's shoulders or animals' backs.
~ He loves the tunes in a game called Undertale, singing it from time to time.
~ Price will be there if someone needs to let out their feelings, listening and maybe adding his own suggestions to help solve a problem. Though most of the suggestions will be bizarre and unrealistic due to having close to no experience with the real world.
~ He wears bandages on his hands/wrists to hide the scars from plucking himself and wear long clothing to cover the other various scars still from plucking. He isn't too proud of having them.
~ Price loves physical contact. Cuddles, leaning, he's comfortable with it. He's also ticklish on the waist area and stomach.
~ He isn't sure on his orientation. He hung out with a female parakeet for a while who talked about how handsome the male parrots were with their colors and sorta fell for them, too.
~ Price is the submissive type. Uhuhuhu~
~ He tends to blush very easily. ;3
