Do you have a funny story about your pet? I'd love to hear it! Here's what made me think of this topic for a thread:
The other day, my parrot was ate with a spoon! I was eating ice cream and my African Grey Parrot took my spoon out of my hand with his foot. (some parrots can use their foot as a hand for grabbing things)
Rufus calmly stood on the arm of the couch holding my spoonful of ice cream. He kept lifting up the spoon to his mouth for a bite of ice cream and then lowered it down again. Then up the spoon would go for another bite.
My husband I laughed out loud for quite a while. It didn't faze Rufus a bit. He just kept enjoying his ice cream.
Here is a visual aid. This is the kind of parrot I have and it shows how they can hold something with their foot:

Here is a cute video showing a talking African Grey Parrot named Einstein:

What's the last thing your pet did that made you laugh out loud?

Shocking experience, indeed! Tee hee hee!
I love my birds. They are a never ending source of amusement. I also have two dogs and a lot of goldfish in a backyard pond that my hubby built for me.

Wow! That is a big snack for such a little doggie!
It's had telling when somebody is being facetious in print! Thanks for letting me see the cute doggie!

Iano, that's a sweet story
I'm glad the kitties all found homes and I'm glad you are now a kitty owner.

Re: Iano, that's a sweet story
That's great that God made you into a "cat person" when the need arose.
Thanks for the comment about my site. I am aware that I am in the minority, but it doesn't bother me. I was an agnostic for over 40 years. I heard some pretty convincing scientific things that eventually led me to believe in God. I made the site to pass along what I learned.

My cockatiels loves to sit on my lap while I'm at my desk. Then they wander up and down my legs (I have my feet up on a foot rest under my desk). Often, I have a cockatiel on each foot. I'm glad they love to be with Mom, but they are a handfull.

Re: Grey Parrot Intelligence
I'm quite familiar with Alex. That is one amazing bird! Thanks for the links. They've redone the site since I was there last time. I love the picture of Alex reading the stock market page. Tee hee hee.
Your poor kitty! But, a funny story!
Thanks,
X
