I'm so glad people here know of My Neighbor Totoro!
I love that movie!
I've heard that cockatiels, ragardless of gender, will pick up tunes and words, if kept as single birds, because they try to better communicate with their human. I've been whistling a certain song from a childhood video game I used to play called "Earthbound", to Lucy. She seems very concentrating on listening. She doesn't seem to be the very vocal type (except for the chirps I hear from her every now and then), but I wonder if she ever will learn it?
I also love how he's trying to play in time while being precise. The owner is so sweet for matching his pace.
I do feel bad for the original owner. He's had this video reuploaded by two other users, claiming ownership, when he copyrighted the video, and when he tried to get them to take it down, he was forced to uplift the copyright in his video, because one of the uploaders threatened to report his to the makers of My Neighbor Totoro. The video I shared is from his original channel. I didn't want to support the other uploaders by using their videos.
