I can communicate with humans in many ways. If I want attention I
can scream very loudly. When I feel tired I
put my head down so an unwary human walking by will scratch my head and
beak. If I am happy I will sing, talk and whistle. I can't carry a tune very well, but I
can say "HELLO" the best, then "PRETTY CLAUDE"
is fairly good. Other words are "BUD BUD BUD" (my former competition in
the house), "PEANUT" when I feel hungry, "HEY BOB" when I want specific
attention, "WHAT" if I think my human is asking for something
unreasonable, "WHATCHA DOIN" if I feel nosey. I also say quite a few
things which are garbled to keep the humans on edge thinking I might
say something interesting.
My interests are food and biting Carol on the nose. I am 11 years old
and
plan to be around to "torture" Carol for a long time.
