awww thanks pretty lady! My mom has a cockatiel called Buddy....she also has a clock that has different bird noises on each hour...Buddy can imitate every single one...only way to know if it is the clock or Buddy is that Buddy does not stop! lol
Awww...he sounds cute! My cockatiel was given to me by someone that didn't want him anymore, so he was never taught to imitate any sounds. Every once in a while he'd get into this screaming mode, though, where he'd just screech for about fifteen minutes straight. That was the extent of his talents, lol.
Hello Cyn, Nice photo of you and the "birdie",I've never had a bird for a pet,but they probably attach to you just as a Dog or Kitty?? When we have our summer camp out, You better have some of that goddie stuff to eat!!! Sorry about your job.I think your better off not being there,and you'll get a better one .Idig
Thanks! Yes, they get very attached....in fact, more so than a dog or cat in most cases. Many times they will think of their person as their mate.....they need lots of attention....if their person dies or gets rid of them some will pluck out all their feathers and refuse to eat. Luckily Petrie was able to bond with our youth pastor in WA because when I left there I was unable to take him and he loved Brent a lot and was able to bond with him. That was about 4 years ago. I miss him a lot sometimes. He was such a goof! He would yell MOM MOM til I would finally yell back WHAT? then he would say c'mere! He loved to cuddle....even would crawl under the cotton throw with me on the couch when I was watching tv. I never thought of a bird being a cuddly animal til I met Petrie...he loved to cuddle.
I will absolutely have some goodies to eat at the summer campout!! Gotta have goodies!! I can't wait!
Hi, Cyna.....Somehow I missed this post. Your very pretty and so is your bird. The thing I like about you best besides being so sweet is, your a great cook and keep the Charter members WELL FED.
rofl I have tried telling him that....he just does this Actually most times he does admit he is a lucky soul...and I am quick to admit I am the lucky one. Thanks dear friend for the sweet comments! ~hugs~
"Thanks pretty lady! I miss him a lot sometimes. He used to yell "MOM! C'mere!"
Your kidding! We had a blue and gold maccaw a long time ago. One of the few words he YELLED { and extremely loudly} was MAAAAAAAA!!!!! He picked it up from hearing my brother and sister and I yell out for our mother all day long when we were kids. You could actually hear it from a few houses down the road too.
LOL yes, Petrie learned the MOM and C'mere from my daughter Teresa too....that's okay....figured out how to get revenge....when I wanted her to come in from outside playing I would open the sliding glass door by his cage and I would yell TERESA then he would start..RESA RESA RESA...he would not stop til she came inside either! rofl
Cyndi,
If you want to keep the bird occupied give him a pecan or two,
When he wants another give him a hazel nut.
He'll figit with it trying to get it open for a long time before he gives up.
He actually was really good at getting into pecans and hazelnuts...in fact the fart through a broken pecan shell under my exercise ball once when I was on it and I landed right on my tush!! Worst part is he laughed like a maniac while I was all ambarrassed! lol
