Saw this and thought of Beaker...

<giggle>Too bad my computer here at work doesn't have sound. I'll have to play that at home.Beaker bobs like that (without the footwork) when you ask her, "Do you want an almond?" The rule is that she has to bob 3 full times before she gets the nut.The bird in the video is a sulfur-crested coc*atoo, BTW.ETA: Argh! Stupid censor!!

You mean it's a sulfer-crested roosteratchoo?

Bless you, KG.

This thread started out to be for the birds but it's going to the dogs.

 

[katie0128]

Which is where so many of our threads end up!

Beaker used to say "woof woof." Not the baking sound, the word "woof." Did I mention she's a little nuts?

 

[cmdtrgd]

Did you watch the whole thing? The bird started head banging and stuff towards the end!!!

 

[chefann]

I only watched about a minute - no sound here so it was only half as funny, I'm sure. I'll catch it at home.

That's why she fits right in at your house.

I keep telling DH that we picked the normal bird out at the breeder's, but somehow in the last 10 years, she broke. And she's not under warranty anymore.bagelbagelbagelbagelbagelbagel

Personally, I think the breeder had you and DH pegged from the beginning and steered you toward the bird that was a little off her rocker from the beginning.

CORN!

Coooorrrrrrrrnnnnnn!Soup!Beaker says that, too, but it's derived from "Superbird," not the food.

Funny thing...we actually sell CDs at work to train birds to talk. ...something like 80 some phrases...One is "Do you like my hair, I feathered it..." ...I thought that was so bad it is funny!

We've got a gizmo called a "Wordy Birdy" that records what you say onto a chip and will play it back repeatedly. You can set it to play every few seconds for as long as it's on (or the batteries last), so you can train the bird. The problem is that it's a little old and it doesn't sound really clear. We're trying to teach Beaker, "Who's gonna feed me?" That's from my niece, who's 5. My sister came into town for our grandmother's birthday this summer, and mentioned to Stephanie (my niece) that she was leaving town. Stephanie doesn't have the best grasp of weekday vs. weekend - she just knew that Daddy's usually at work, her sisters were in school already, and Momma was leaving town. Her question to my sister was, "Who's gonna feed me?" Not that she'd miss Momma, but that she'd miss the food.
