A parrot???
Cool!!
What colour is he?
My sisters were keen on cockatoos
They were always trying to teach them to talk
But they wouldn't really.
One day one of them heard a bomb go off on some tv show.WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
BOOM!The bird just loved to do that!
It only heard it once, but would do it therafter.The other one was when my sisters boyfriend hit his leg on the table one day and hollared F*CK! The bird picked that one up too. Probably reinforced by peoples reaction to that.
He used to go absolutely mental when he saw himself in a mirror. Started attacking my sister. Maybe 'cause he was jealous 'cause he thought she had another bird - or maybe that is attributing too much to his birdie brain, I don't know. She removed the mirrors from the lounge where he used to fly around.
One day he walked under the glass coffee table and looked up - same saga.
