I don't eat meat. I like being outdoors. I like hiking. I'm a redhead, but I feel blonde. My parrot, Tasha, is a cockatoo. My parrot speaks frequently. I have no other pets. I only speak English. My parrot can speak English. I give my parrot a lot of treats to train it. I have had my parrot since childhood. I'm not good in the kitchen.
I have a pet parrot named Tasha. I like taking my parrot on hikes. My parrot is a Macaw. I bring my parrot places. I like to eat scrambled eggs with Sprite. I have a dog named Spike. My pets mostly get along well. I haven't had the parrot that long and I haven't trained her to speak. I'm giving up meat and trying to be healthier. I'm still learning to cook.
I taught my parrot to say a few new words! Awesome! what words? and does she use them in sentences or by themselves? She says "Hi!" and "Feed me!" She doesn't really say them at appropriate times, but it's still better than listening to a cockatoo meltdown that sounds almost like words, LOL. That's so funny. I should try to train my parrot to say things, how did you teach yours? Just kept saying the same thing over and over and giving her a treat when she repeated it. There was a story in the news a while back about a macaw named Barney who was donated to a petting zoo in London. Turned out he'd belonged to some anarchist truck driver who'd retired to Spain, and liked to swear. He dropped the f-bomb to a priest, the mayor and some cops, among others. Oh gosh...wouldn't that be a sight to behold. I think I read that former president Andrew Jackson had a parrot who like to swear too, and it went to Jackson's funeral and swore the whole time. Parrots are so cheeky. I love it. Mostly Tasha just melts down and says things that sound like she's chewing me out, that don't actually have any recognizable words. I guess she's learning tone and cadence before she learns specific words? She sounds very smart. She thinks she is, LOL. Does your parrot talk to Spike? She squawks if Spike gets too close for comfort, but he's good about looking and not touching. How great would it be if I could train the parrot to tell Spike to get my newspaper in the morning? You probably could! You should try it, if she can give commands he recognizes. I'll teach her to say hello for starters, then sit. I like to bring them both to the park, maybe she can keep an eye on him there.
