I have the lady in TN that says she wants him, but, she stopped returning my calls...LOL.

I think I am stuck with him, it is like being stuck in a bad marriage....Ugh.

Oh well, it is life and I will make the best of the worst.

Hey, did you go to Gettysburg??? Any Ghosts?

like 16 years ago or so there was one just like that in this pet store I used to buy crickets at. I'd take my daughter (3-4 years old at the time) in there with me. They had a whole bunch of birds but she loved that Cockatoo. Everything she did the bird did. her arms go up, the birds wings would go up. She jumped up and down the bird would move it's body up and down.

There would always be this crowd that would form of people watching her and that bird. It was already adopted, just living there until it was old enough to go home. She was always asking me when we were going back in there " I gotta train my bird mommy" .

After about 6 months the bird went home and we never saw it again. She's 20 now and she still talks about her bird. She saw the pic of your bird and it sparked some hope that maybe it was the same bird. I told her I doubt it.

Funny the things that make such an impression on a little kid. Looking back I sure wish I'd have had the sense to take a camera in and snap a few pics of her and that bird and their "tricks".

That is cool. It is funny what kids remember. The littlest things can stay burned in their memories, too cool.

These types of birds are cool and they can capture you heart quite quickly. Mine talks a lot and it is like having a 2yr old all the time, however, it is a 2yr old with a filthy mouth and he sometimes packs a gun! He is cool though, he is going through sexual maturity right now and he thinks I am his mate. This is where my problems are with him. He looks at me as his wife and he is a wife beater!! If I can get passed this mating thing I think it will all be good. In the meantime, I stay high!bongsmilie:peace:

do they make blow up birds with orafices?
I did look into that. No, they don't.
I broke all the rules with this bird. I didn't know that your not supposed to pet them below the neck. I pet him all over! One day he started wiggling his butt around on my arm, I knew it was something weird....Then he tried to do it again and when I stopped him, he bit. Hard. Now, I only hold him with a towel so he can't bite me. I am looking for a home for him, but, I don't want anyone to be put in a situation like I am in. I think with the right woman he will be a good bird. I say woman because he hates men!
