He learned to imitate many things over the years (the ring of the phone, the sound of the security system when the door opened, etc.). He learned that when the dogs went outside to their "thing" when they came back in I would say "want a cookie?" for being a good dog. Well, that bird sits up on top of the cage and taunts the dogs with "want a cookie, cookie" over and over again. The dogs sit there and beg. It's a hillarious thing to see.

At 7 years old he would be equally surprised if offered an "imaginary cookie" but he falls for it over and over. Naughty! Teasing the dog! But it is so darn entertaining and he loves the attention. Luckily for our species our young outgrow that innocence. "All contents © R. J. Carpenter 2003 - 2006. You are free to use it if you like, but please attribute it appropriately.
