My Olivia turns to stone when picked up. Every muscle in her body turns rigid, even if it’s only to pick her up to move her from one couch cushion to the other.
One of the few things I retained from high school biology: Birds cannot “hold it in”. Their bodies are designed to be lightweight and when there’s poop in the “chamber” it just comes out. No point in carrying that extra weight around.
Reminds me of when my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His doctor told him the cancer wouldn’t be what kills him. He won’t live long enough for it to (he is 80 years old, morbidly obese, has congestive heart failure, and emphysema)
