I have a cockateil that thinks he's a dog. He follows me around all day. Do you have funny bird? Tell me.

Question

Looking for bird owners

Answer 1

Sounds cute! :D

My rainbow lorikeet follows me everywhere too... gotta be careful in situations like those though, don't want to end up slamming the door on it or anything! :(

My bird is an absolute nutcase. He is always rolling around and folding himself into weird poses just for the sake of it. He loves to lie on his back and play with a ball with a bell in it.

Yesterday, it was my brother's birthday and he had a heap of friends over. I had to get some stuff for them all, and my bird was hanging off my elbow, making noises that frankly sounded like someone in immense pleasure because he was so excited about everyone there. I got a lot of weird looks, they probably thought it was me making the noises. x__X

He also likes to grab my mouth and yell, "Got your beak!"

EDIT: Lol... need to mention this. For the past couple of days my mum has been hopping around on a sprained ankle. Whenever she is hopping around in the same room as my bird, he will start jumping up and down in the same time that she is hopping. So funny! XD
Seriously, my bird has no respect for the injured. :P

Answer 2

I have an 8 year old Military Macaw that I raised from a bald little chick. His name is Benny. Although I constantly repeat his name, he has never said it. He picked up my name from my friends and his first word was "Edwardo!" The neatest thing he does is come into my bedroom every morning at the same time (like clock work!) and wake me up by sticking his fat tongue in my ear and whispers my name "edwardo" breathlessly! He stays outside in his huge cage, but sleeps on a stand inside. He has never messed in the house and doesn't chew on furniture or electrical cords, although he can chew through heavy chain link fencing! My biggest concern is what will happen to him after I'm gone. He is just like a son and has changed my life immensely. He's my pride and joy.

Answer 3

My Cockateil thought that he was a cat. We had three cats when we had him. It was great he would wonder around the house making mewing sounds. He would drink and eat out of the cat dishes. He would play with there cat toys. It was really funny.

Answer 4

I don't have one right now, but I had a hand raised lovebird that was a gift from my grandfather who bred them... That was the sweetest bird I've ever met.. but she was a trip. We never clipped her wings so she had free reign in the house when we were home.. and she would basically ride on people's shoulders or heads.. and anytime someone tried washing dishes she would annoy you until you let her take a shower.. (when the sink was empty you turn on the faucet she sits in the sink and moves herself under the dripping water).. She even went outside with me without flying off... (we never brought her out on purpose.. every once in awhile she'd sneak out when someone was walking out the door)..

I really do miss her.. (she died after being egg bound.. vet couldn't do anything for her) My grandfather stopped breeding them when he started going senile.. so, I can't get another from him.. (and really can't afford one right now)

Answer 5

My lovebird does this. You'll hear his feet going click click click across the hardwood looking for me. Im always where he can see me and if Im not he finds me. He's often out of his cage as are my other birds but the other ones just watch me they dont chase me down.

Answer 6

my mom had 2 duck this duck were raise with 5 chiguagua. he thought he was a dog my mom will let them be in yard and they will be with the dogs and when people will walk into the yard they will be the first one to attack and instead of barking they will hiss. my mom will call her dog by blowing kisses and they will run with the dog. it is hilarious when you are being attack by duck who are chasing you and hissing. the only way you can come in the yard is by having a laser in hand they were scared of laser. bad thing about the duck the dog knew that when you say back off they back off if my mom didn't call them they won't back off. my granmdmother had a crazy quaker (the green birds) I had the him on my hand and she decide that she wanted to try to give thehim a kiss cause he gave kisses that bird jump gave on to her hair and she sloing him off her hair he chanced her and he was old and bolegged he still try to get her. my mother in-law- had the small parrot a blue and yellow she use to let them loose but she won't cut their wig when my sister gave the parrot to her they were nice after a while of being with her without their wig being clip they started flying to people head. she had to keep them in a cage but they escape after figuring out how to open the cage.

Answer 7

i have a cockatiel who thinks she's Snoopy doing the vulture pose from peantuts. perches on top of her cage and looks down like a giant bird of prey tilting her head to the left (she also picks things up with her left foot) when she get nervous she'll give you the soaring eagle pose... wings wide open and she makes like she's going to bite you

Answer 8

But its down to my late neighbours son who taught a very rude noise and he does it when i am on the Phone, He makes Farting Noises.!!! he head bangs to certain music, hangs on his bars with his legs over his shoulders.
But if he is not covered up by 7pm on the dot, he will say constantly Night night , untill he is covered up.

He as a love hate realtionship with my birman, they wind each other up, Birman will go to cage to pat him, senegal will nip his paws, look at him , then will bend his head to be stroked by birman. well you can imagine the look at birmans face after being nipped.
