September 7th, 2008 at 9:37 amthese birds are incredible
my mother-in-law used to have one. She had then a Bar in Le Havre. Some of her custommers were seamen. One gave her once a green cockatoo that he brought from Africa. The bird learnt how to untertain the bar assemblee. That was just after that the movie about the bridge on the river Kwai was launched. Some people would whistle the aria, and the parrot also whistled the river Kway bridge.
A few years later they sold the bar and move to Marseille in a flat. Then the parrot got bored and became naughty.
He bited my mother-in-law whenever she wanted to approach him, to feed him or to clean his place.
Though he still didn’t forget the river Kwai aria, nor a few rude expressions.
I remember at the beginning I knew my hubby, visiting her and having breakfast there , the cockatoo called loudly my mother-in-law : “Yvette” !!! He wanted to have breakfast too.
Though he wasn’t well feed, she used to give him whatever she was eating, therefore he got coffee with milk.
That wasn’t quite the food he needed. His feathers weren’t that much brillant.
A couple of years later she decided to give him away to a collectionnor that had more than 150 cockatooes.
Once he organised an exhibition of them in Marseille. We then decided to go and visit our fellow.
We saw him, he had a reconnaissable feature, on one of his legs there was one nail that missed. we called him by his name, sang the river Kwai… he turned us his back.
I dunno if he thought that we were going to bring him home, or if if wanted to show us that he didn’t forget that we got rid of him. Though his feathers were much more beautiful, he had the right food and collegues with whom he could handle a conversation.

September 7th, 2008 at 10:48 pmThey are a member of the crow family of birds. We have another wild offshoot here in Phoenix that are very intelligent black birds and then we have pigeons it’s kind of like watching conservatives and liberals.
As a test once at lunch someone at the table with me made the statement that all birds are just dumb. And so I said oh really, watch this and wadded up a napkin and tossed it on the ground, all of the pigeons fought each other over this piece of paper but the black birds just stood there. Then I looked at this person and said now watch this and tossed a french fry on the ground, the pigeons started after it but the black bird just kicked their asses and got the french fry.
then I looked at him and said “See blackbirds are like republicans and pigeons …. are well obviously democrats”.

also the magpie is clever ;
September 8th, 2008 at 8:48 amWe had a “big” dog, a beauceron, we used to give his food outside in a yard where there were a few trees on which magpies were surveying him. Apparently one was elected to tease the dog. she kept flying above his nose while making an irritating noise. Naturally the dog would run after the impertinant bird. Then the whole group of magpies rushed on his food. Each time the dog was cheated.
For a long time in Yellowstone park they thought they were having a rash of thieves steeling peoples belongings, watches, keys, maps, etc anyway so the park rangers started setting up game cameras in the trees and what they found were they had thieves all right, ravens hehehehe. The ravens had even figured out how to work zippers and Velcro lol so nothing was safe hahahaha.
September 8th, 2008 at 10:40 amhehe, we ought to say they are “sinners capitalists” or bourgeois for it’s not for food sake that they steeled
