My Olivia turns to stone when picked up. Every muscle in her body turns rigid, even if it’s only to pick her up to move her from one couch cushion to the other.
One of the few things I retained from high school biology: Birds cannot “hold it in”. Their bodies are designed to be lightweight and when there’s poop in the “chamber” it just comes out. No point in carrying that extra weight around.
So the succotash was sufferin’?
