"...what else could I do?" he said.
How about some peanuts and crackers? He earned them fair and square.

The owner of a parrot was devastated when his bird went missing. The time was 1980, and the place was Odessa, in what was then the U.S.S.R.

He went and reported his loss to the K.G.B.

"For what are you reporting this to us?" the K.G.B. man replied when the owner told his story. "Go and call the militsiya [civil police]. Why are you calling this department?"

"Because," the bird owner replied, "If you find it I want you to know that I don't share its political views!"

Those African gray parrots are incredible mimics. My cousin had one that would call the dogs up the door using his voice. "Come on, boys - time for supper!"

I guess the lesson is if you have a bird and then take a lover make sure your first candlelight dinner has something to do with Shake-and-Bake!

LOL!

This is a great story.

Hmmm, my Moluccan can moan "I want ouuuuUUuuuuTTTTtt!" when I put her up for the night. The little Conure will say "Uh Oh!" when he sees the cats.

the couple were snuggled up on the sofa ... She told me that she'd been seeing someone she'd met at work called Gary and that she wanted to finish with me.

So did she finish? Or did she just walk out?

Wonder what she wants for the bird. I love African Grays.

It's like having a kid around the house.

They hear, remember and repeat everything.

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of this bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he could think of to set a good example. Nothing worked.

Finally, John got fed up and he yelled at the parrot. And, the bird yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the bird got angrier and ruder. Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the bird in the refrigerator freezer. For a few minutes, John heard the bird squawk and kick and scream...then suddenly there was quiet. Not a peep for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the bird, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's out-stretched arm and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything to correct my poor behavior."

John was astonished at the bird's change of attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the chicken did?"
