Thinking of Zee's new pet. Happy Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Y’ALL


A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.
John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words,
playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and
the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the
bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you
with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and
I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly,
"May I ask what the turkey did?”

I have a Quaker Parrot, and although she does not talk she can get very obnoxious. Many an evening I have mentioned to her that she could be the chicken in the oven! Some times it actually works!

That's too funny!

People say that those birds don't really understand what they are saying, but I think they do. They are pretty smart!

my little dusky conure used to say thank you when I put food in his dish and when I covered his cage at night he would say nite nite.
and I very well remember my quakers being obnoxioiusly noisy.
