You know, I sat and watched a cockatoo in New Orleans walk a fence and actually interact with people as they walked by. He laughed at them, talked to them, and even let them pet him. His owner was nearby, but he just stood there while the bird held the stage, bobbing his head up and down and flaring his wings out, eagle style.
Don't call these creatures "dumb animals" around me!
That was the best post I have ever read signed by you.
