Its not steange

So nice to read about someone with manners.... yes....you... its great to thank who ever, for a compliment
Nothing better than a thank you for whatever... it goes a long way in my book...thank for posting a lovely post....

I don't think it's Ok. You should teach your bird to say "Thank you"

Good point! The bird can speak for himself. Maybe. If he wants to.

Thanks guys!

My bird doesn't know how to talk. And frankly, I don't have the patients to repeat the same words 100 times a day. I don't even think he'll pick it up. I'm not really into trick training. I don't understand how the birds get it. I always feel like i'm just wasting my time. I know birds are smart, i just don't think they're able to comprehend what I want them to do. I like taming though. I can put the logic behind that. Bird see's you doing good things to him=not to be afraid. But taming isn't so straight forward. It's like, He talks=do I repeat? Or like, He says roll over=let me just go to sleep.

It's just way too much work. I just don't get their thinking process with training. I'm lucky Rio knows how to make his own, funny sounds. Talking is overrated.

hear hear!

Also, You look wonderful today Caro, I like that dress!

uhm? can we see the dress too?

I agree. I'm not much of a talker myself. I couldn't care less if my birds do or not. Beaker said "good boy" once back in like, 2012? Never said another thing since. I don't mind.

I like trick training though. Manly because I love animal psychology and they way they think. It just captivates me.

That's not me, man, you're looking at somebody else. I haven't put on a dress in years, so I don't have to look down to know that I'm not wearing one. If you said you like my t-shirt I'd have to look down to see which one of my t-shirts you liked. And I actually do have a rather nice one on today. Sort of a low-contrast tie-die with a pattern of shiny metal bits on it.

What size is that T anyway that I could mistake it for a (short) dress??
