A white parrot with yellow under her wings, flys right at us with her wings spread. She has a large purple eye patch, salmon coloured feathers around her beak, and a whole round Ritz cracker in her beak, which she just stole from our snack plate. Her name is Chi Chi and she is a Little Corella, a cockatoo.
We have 3 rescue parrots who run our household.
They must know what we are doing at all times. They are also very good thieves.
Us: this is not parrot food, it’s a Ritz cracker
Chi Chi ( Cockatoo) nodding her head: Ok …. I take!
Here Chi Chi is fleeing the crime scene with the evidence!

a White-tailed Deer standing near a table with bird seed. There are piles on snow, a blue chair and a blue flower pot near the table. There is a tree and branches in the background. The Deer is licking it's nose.
The Deer visit the birdseed fallout zone every night...this clever girl beat the rush and came in the afternoon ☺️
