[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 95184, member: 1233"] husband had a little bity blue parakeet when we met. It's name was Condor. He thought he WAS a condor. husband was gross about not cleaning up after him, so when we were getting ready to be married the ENTIRE large apt had to be totally repainted. And the curtains were a different color under all the nastiness stuck to them. Condor was very jealous until he learned I ALWAYS smelled like pizza. He LOVED it and I worked in a pizza restaurant! We had to watch Star Wars at a minimum of once a week, or he sulked and pouted. He woudl sit on my pencil as I studied, and would jump around on the nintendo controller (remember the first nintendo??) as either of us played. Of course, we had no cats then. He is buried under the big elm on my parent's land. Next to Friday, my dog. Jess has a cockatiel. Awful thing. Was handraised, and bites bites bites. We have had her for 2 years, and just pretty much let her do her thing. If she bites, she get put in the cage on the floor. She was BFF with our old cat, Freckles. They would sit near each other, cat on the back of the couch next to the cage. Bird as close to the cat in or our of the cage as she could get. Goldibrat (my name for her) is NOT as fond of our current cat, but takes endless hours of enjoyment CHASING THE CAT. The cat is quite strong, and totally bullied and scared by this bird!!! We never let them alone, bc the cat ends up getting pecked!! Usually while cowering in a corner. Bully bird. Anyway, If this bird is ever going to learn anything, I don't know when. Won't whistle, sing or do anything but scream. She is quiet if we cover her. Glad some of you like your birds. Susie [/QUOTE]
