Day two hundred and ninety-three: Caprica has almost entirely regrown his primary wing feathers (an annual event), and after bragging at work about how beautiful they are, I thought perhaps I should make a quick sketch before they have to be trimmed. I love the turquoise color, and after they’re cut it’s hard to see unless Caprica spreads his wings. After dinner, I caught Caprica doing one of the cutest things he sometimes does while preening. He twists around to grab, pull, and hold a tail feather in his beak while at the same time balancing on one foot. With the other foot he carefully scratches his head – not rapidly with his whole leg like a dog does – but by articulating his four toes!
