As a birthday present, senior Nolan Bryan got his Lovebird named Morty. “He’s very sassy for a guy,” Bryan said. “If you mess with him when he doesn’t want to be messed with, he’s kind of a jerk.” As a baby, Morty got his wings clipped and was never taught to fly, so when he wants out of his cage he runs across the bottom to get Bryan’s attention. “Every night, we have a little thing where I have to shut off the lights and cuddle him,” Bryan said. “Then he bites my neck. He likes to bite everything. Literally everything.”
