it’s so endlessly funny to me how parrots won’t Beg like dogs or cats. they’ll just try to grab whatever it is they want

Ripley usually says the word for the thing he wants, but he gets visibly frustrated if you don't give him the thing. Even if you don't HAVE the thing. If he thinks you have noodles, he'll ask for noodles, and he will be deeply offended when you say this is a bowl of mashed potatoes and he can't have it.
I used to have a roommate with a galah, and she would just fly over, land on your arm, grab the fork out of your hand, fling it across the room, and start eating your food. It got to the point where I would make small decoy portions of rice for her to eat while I had my meal, because if I shut her in her cage while I was eating she would scream in agony that I was selfishly hoarding food.
some rebels au Riyo. that right one is her current wanted pic after the empire finally caught up on the appearance change. (or more like they think its her but arent sure because she's dead, right? she was definetely dead, what the fuck is going on-)
the way hicks immediately checks on ripley and gives her a tracker and includes newt and makes sure ripleys sleeping and teaches her how to use a gun and doesn't let go of his little unit until he's sure they're safe we were robbed
