Five minutes ago, Julius was convinced the world was ending.

Maybe a leaf moved outside. Maybe the microwave beeped. Maybe... absolutely nothing happened at all. Whatever the reason, there was flapping, screaming, dramatic pacing, and enough noise to make us wonder if we should be preparing for an alien invasion.

Then... Silence. He waddles over, tilts his head, fluffs up his feathers, and looks at us with the sweetest little face imaginable. As if to say, "What? I've been adorable this whole time."

It's honestly impressive. One minute he's a tiny feathered tornado. The next he's the cutest thing on the planet. And somehow, every single time, we forgive him. Because that's the thing about Julius.He may be a little dramatic...

...but he's also cute as a button, and he knows exactly how to get away with it.
