*returns hug, wrapping you gently in my arms and then giving a quick firmer squeeze before separating*
*Opens project bag, pulls out a straight knitting needle, starts skritching bird gently with flat end*
I'll be happy to switch to the pointy end if the bird would like -- perhaps if there's an itchy spot they can't reach. Sounds like the bird is somewhat like, but a bit less extreme than, one of our cats, who will run and hide under the bed if she sees you as a stranger, but will cuddle up beside you for belly rubs once she sees you as a friend.
The project bag has a bit more than two rows of blocks of this in it right now for a niece who will give birth in April. I'm tweaking the construction a bit so I can do it as a single piece, after which I'm going to knit a narrow frame around it to make the edge smoother for grandnibling.
*offers that friendly shoulder* After you're done with the lean, I would enjoy some work on the neck and shoulders so I can keep going on the bird, and on the project after they're done. I'll be happy to take a short break if there's something more active you'd like.
