Many times while I'd be sewing "Tweets" would be on the nearby table next to the window and I'd hear, "Hi There, whatcha doin?" and I'd automatically smile and answer with, "I'm sewing". Then I'd look over to see that "Tweets" was actually looking out the window and trying to converse with other birds. And before moving in with us, when my DD was going through her divorce and had to work, she'd leave her radio on an easy pop program to keep Tweets entertained while she was gone all day. Apparently about 2 hours after she'd leave for work the station would change over to hip-hop music, so once they all began living at our house, Tweets would entertain us by singing rap songs and dancing along his perch, with his head bopping to the music he was singing. And we were amazed that we could identify the dozens of songs Tweets would sing.
We had 2 Quaker parrots that are at my friends house now. They were so smart. Great little talkers. One would whistle the Andy Griffith song and dance from side to side, LOL!
My boys would love that bird! They love rap music, and tried so hard to teach Clyde to rap. Nothing doing, he was an old fashioned kind of guy!
Heres a pic of them:
Bonnie -n- Clyde

The cat loves them! He thinks he's a dog sometimes, since he's never been around other cats.

I thought it was a natural progression. I have seven cats and three dogs. Live in the country, have a pet door, so they come and go at will. But they all know to find me in the craft room. Mimi is Chief Quilt Instector and usually wants a close up inspection of whatever I am doing. My avatar is a shot of Baby taking quilting lessons from Eleanor Burns, just like I do. Someday Baby will join Mimi on the sewing/cutting/ironing tables and get out of the garbage cans!
