I had a friend that had a parrot once - a vile, foul mouthed creature that would scream obscenities all damned day long.
Pete would put up with it as long as he could, then he'd throw a blanket over the cage. There'd be complete silence for about 2 minutes, then you'd hear a faint "Help me..... please heeelp me" coming from the cage.
My male dog was named Crockett and I would loudly tell him goddamnit Crockett, lovingly of course. My Scarlet, Kula, would sit on her cage which was in the front room window and repeat that, but even louder, to the neighborhood. In my voice no less. sheeesh
ReplyDeleteCrockett died just about the same time as Charlie and Kula has kinda forgot that particular curse.

ReplyDeleteWOW! A Parrot? Who woulda thunk?
Sounds more like it could be describing lots of dude's wives.
Pretty smart, using a parrot as cover for the woman he has chained up in the basement.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where the bird would learn that. It didn't repeat that to the popo (unless my volume was too low for me to tell). Why didn't popo ask about that?
DeleteOur neighbors next door had both a bird capable of speech and a dog that often barked.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing we ever heard the bird say was what it had heard the female of the house say, "(Dog's name) shut up."
And my thoughts were much like the thoughts of Chris. If I was responding to a call about someone calling for help, I would not have let the male walk into the house by himself.
Cops are smiling like they have already been there at least twice before.
ReplyDeleteThrew a blanket over his cage? Wait. What? He didn't have a microwave?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to remember that one for when the door to door jab forces stop by. Ohio Guy
ReplyDeleteIf the neighbors can hear your bird.... you're a fuckin dick.
ReplyDeleteYep. Nothing like living in close proximity to someone who has to have a fucking zoo in their house, or worse, the yard.
DeleteI have an African Grey parrot. He is very smart. He says:
ReplyDeleteFuckin Dogs
Pull my finger
Yankees Suck
Oh Fuck Off
CQ in Morse code (dah dit dah dit. dah dah dit dah)
All in my voice. He also makes fart and burp noises. Pisses off the wife, which is why I teach him things…
i would rubberband that yappers mouth to where he couldn't bark, in training sessions. All the while saying NO. It works most of the time. Not really tight, but tight enough.
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents had a parakeet and my grandpa had emphysema. The parakeet would cough sounding exactly like my grandfather. It freaked me out the first time I heard it.
