This is where the series started — with my cockatiel and a bag of millet spray he had absolutely no intention of sharing.
If you've ever tried to reach for your bird's snack and been met with that look — wings slightly out, eyes locked on yours, full territorial energy — you already know exactly what this design is about. I drew it because it happens in my house on a regular basis. The millet belongs to him. Always has.
It's the first piece in my Bird Brain Series, and honestly, he set the tone for everything that followed. No. 2 is him demanding head scratches with a very detailed list of requirements. More are on the way — living with a cockatiel is basically endless content.
The tee itself is an easy, everyday wear. Soft combed cotton that feels light without feeling flimsy, a clean retail fit that works for coffee runs, casual days out, or just pottering around the house while your bird supervises from your shoulder. The illustration is bold enough to start a conversation, subtle enough that you're not shouting about it.
A solid one for bird parents who get it — or a gift for someone whose pet has very strong opinions about snack ownership.
