Over-enthusiastic bird

pseudogeekJules is a living alarm clock. Over the Holidays he let me sleep past over 9:30AM, but recently school's starting again and dad said that I should be adjusting my biological clock, to which my bird agreed. Today he woke me up at 8:30AM. Not only he knows that he should wake me sooner and when is sooner, he also knows progressive bio-clock adjustment. I know that this isn't his bio-clock doing Daylight Saving Mode because after waking me up he still naps at the usual times. He's napping on my shoulder right now. This bird should be a biology or psychology teacher/therapist.
Then again, I'm not sure if it's an eye-neck coordination thing or an intellect thing, but this other day, when my bird has a loose feather on his neck and I show it to him via a mirror, he'd try to remove it by rubbing his lower beak on me. But the feather's on his neck, not on his beak, so it doesn't come off. He sees in the mirror that it's still there, so he tries again, again only rubbing the chin on me. I get that he's trying to rub that side of his neck, and indeed the side is right, but the neck wasn't touching my body at all when he rubs like that. I suspect that his psychic body is shaped differently from his physical body and the psychic body is much bigger, thus getting a location paradox. Or he didn't know how non-puffy his feathered neck is once he is stretching it. Either way, that looked stupid.
