I really like parrots. Few realize just how smart they are. They know what they are saying most of the time. My African Grey died in the fire. I will have another. Jim
 
That's cool. A friend of mine had some cockatiels (sp?) that were fun as could be. You could whistle a tune and they would whistle it back to you. One he had would "sneeze" if you told him to. They were pretty hilarious because everytime we went over for a cookout we would try and teach them to cuss. HEHE I got yelled at for that one. :D:thumbup: You gotta watch those birds. They are smart enough to play mind games with the dogs. That in itself is hilarious as well.

BTW: The habs still have a good number of peppers on the plants, but I don't think that they will ripen before they spoil. I think that I'll just pull them all this weekend and dehydrate them and send a bag of greenies with the dehydrated orange ones.
 
Ok, should we start a pool to see what the bird's first words are and in what language?

I love parrots as well. But if her tongue has been clipped she can learned to speak. But I am kinda worried if she will speak your kind of language, since you do not speak proper English your self. :D

And my next concern would be if you feed her your hot sauce she will never speak anything. :yawn:

But with a joking aside, Great looking bird there IG. And tell your son to behave himself. He called me last week. :)
