Lost parot gives name and address

[LaMer]

On the subject of talking birds, there was another bird that cussed alot and the new owner wasn't happy about it. He figured he'd teach the African Grey a lesson because each time he'd say "Polly want a cracker" the bird would say something totally inappropriate. The guy finally had enough and tossed the bird into the freezer. Eventually, he got to feeling guilty and he went to get the bird out of the freezer. To his surprise, the bird said "Why, thank you!" The guy was expecting cuss words, but the bird was not cussing. He asked the bird "Polly want a cracker?" and the bird said, "Yes, Please." He was astounded and said "I guess you learned your lesson, huh?" The bird replied...."Certainly, but might I ask.... what did the chicken do?"

Hats off to Yosuke too!

When I first met the guy I was going to marry, we looked up in my tree and saw (what I thought was) my grey cockatiel. I was frantic and sent him shimmy-ing up the tree in shorts, cutting his legs and arms to reach the bird. The MOMENT the bird hopped onto his hand, I knew it wasn't mine. (Mine would have flown away.) I went inside and didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't one of mine!

I named him Cuddles and he sang tv show tunes. Gilligan's Island, etc.


Once there was a burgler who broke into a house through a window. Soon as he started to climb in, he heard "Jesus is watching you." He was really nervous, but determined, and he stuck both legs in and quietly lowered himself to the floor. He heard "Jesus is watching you!" more loudly and he was frightened! He looked around, frozen in fear and saw that it was just a parrot. He laughed and said "What's your name?" The bird said "Fredrick." He scoffed at the bird and started to load his pockets with items from the home. He said "What kind of idiot names a parrot Fredrick?" The parrot said.... "The same idiot that named his Rottweiller Jesus."

That's a really cute story. Clever of the owner, I only taught our cockatiel "Here, kitty kitty" and "pretty bird". He did pick up all sorts of whistles (from us & outside birds). I've always wanted an African Grey, but birds always seem to need soooo much attention. Constant, lol!

This is such a "good news" story! :clap: I too especially liked the last part where the bird would only talk to the vet.

Winston Churchill had an African grey during WWII. The parrot is still alive and talking at the age of 104. What does he say? "*%&# Hitler! *%&# Hitler!"

Note: Although this story may not be strictly accurate, Churchill did have a parrot, the parrot did curse Hitler, and there is an old parrot in Brighton or somewhere who is still cursing Hitler.

I had a friend years ago who had this huge parrot that would stand in the doorway of her living room and go "Psst!...You...Yeah ,You!..C'mere.
Come on...cmere..Hey!...you!...C'mere."
Very disconcerting.
