When you are born covered in feathers, “ruling the roost” is a pretty big deal.

In short, you want to be the one doing it.

There are many time-honored methods to accomplish this goal, but one of the finest is also the simplest. It is called “cuteness.”

When you are the cutest flock member, you don’t have to be at the top of the cockatiel flock (literally or figuratively) to rule the roost.

You just have to show up. “Cuteness” will do the rest.

Based on these pics, who do you think our little flock’s official “roost ruler” is?
