They loved looking down our gumboots, in our clothes and through our hair for bugs. We had to wear lots of clothes so their claws wouldn’t scratch and hurt us. They were super strong and sharp. They make funny sounds when they want something. They loved playing with us and are like little cats and dogs wanting lots of attention. Their feathers were soft like fur.
