He's spoiled

[karlac]

Mine looks at me, barks, then runs to what she wants.

Yesterday it was the door, and leaving no doubt NOW!
Wasn't what I thought.

Was off her feed the day before.
She headed out to the lawn, started frantically grazing on new grass sprouts like a cow, then laid in the sun for some vitamin D.

20 minutes later came back wanting in.

She was fine last night, ate good, and again this morning.
They know exactly what they need, if you listen.

My pooch tries to talk to me. It actually sounds like talking. Weird. But she won't stop until I do what she wants.

Outside? rekberahflellblblee

You Hungry? Stands up and wags her tail.

Food it is....

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Yep.
Ours loves momma most, but I'm the one who speaks her language...

Dogs could teach us humans some things.

A dog recognizes love, returns love, forgives and is loyal.

Anyone who mistreats animals should be hung from the nearest tree.

(let me finish that sentence for ya', "............. by the gonads!"

Pics of bird please.

There he is. He had been preening on my head and chewing on his balsa wood.

BTW, when I say he drinks from a glass, I don't mean he sticks his head in the glass. He drinks from the edge like a people.

Great looking bird. How old is he? Hand raised from hatchling?

My daughter and her bunny.
Spoiled.
Gets his nails done, naps on the cough. Snacks. Loves to be held.

He just turned 5 last month.

He was hand raised. The breeder pulls the egg(s) from the nest box and incubates them. Lisa Sweet is a first class operation. She never forces the birds to breed, keeps them in outdoor aviaries, and treats them like her children.

Who takes the bird when you kick off in 20 or 30 years?

I always said if I ever got an animal that would outlive me by a generation or two that I would add care of that animal as a stipulation to my will so that any beneficiary to my estate would have the motivation to care for it.

Our African Grey died about 25 years after I left the house.
Not exactly sure what caused it.

 

[zackmars]

My parents had an african grey. Kick ass bird. Named Gizmo.

When he wasn't saying "shit" he would do a bombing run where he'd recite a bombing run over Tokyo.

"Tokyo in sight, sir

Alright bombrediear, your show

Open bomb bay doors

Bombs away!

He'd then do this whistling noise with a cluck at the end to simulate a bomb falling

Tokyo destroyed sir!"

He'd also scream at me when i gave him water because i accidentally got his claw caught in the cage door one time

Already told the story about the AG, while hidden on the upstairs balcony, wolf whistled at all the neighborhood trophy wives (and some not so trophy) walking down the sidewalk, while I was highly visible sitting on the front porch below.

Still getting dirty looks ...

Well, he learned the whistle from someone.

Yep.
Every sound they replicate is due to hearing it repeatedly.
Took us a while to figure out the "boing" sound he made was due to a spring on the screen door near his cage.

BIL, who was deceased and haunting us from the grave ...

My sister would get tears in her eyes when the parrot would say things in the same voice as her deceased husband.

We got to hear my grandmother talk even after she passed.
He repeated a phrase in her voice daily.

Friend who is a retired Navy Senior Chief has an African Grey.

He has had it for about 30 years and got it as a baby.

Very salty vocabulary. I think he is leaving it to the priest at his church.

 

[jrbfishn]

I like that.

That's exactly what we're goingto do.
