Mine does some of the same things! This figure-8 "Ray Charles" head swing when she's happy, or she faces towards the outside and just bounces, bounces and bounces! She follows the dogs around the house like she's one of them.
Oh, and you know you can cross Umbrellas with Moluccans to get "Mobrellas"?(I kid you not!)
Cool!
Patches was at the local bird shop, and he'd 'taken' to the shop owner, couldn't be owned by anyone else.
But he did love company, oddly enough.
Wish I'd had the money at the time, I'd have grabbed one in a heartbeat considering Patches was a hoot.
"Here kitty kitty kitty kitty!" coming from a bird was hysterical.
That, and he'd say odd stuff once in a blue moon.
What was really impressive was when he was wooing some poor lady who walked in.
Patches stood bolt upright, stared at the lady for a few minutes, and then started this waving crest displaying dance.
When she didn't appear to notice, he got down from his cage top and started the figure 8 head roll at her feet.
Then he shoulder bumped her ankles, scaring the bejeebers out of her.
He was a card though, and handsome the way Umbrella Tooos go.
