Does the bird talk? We have a starling at the nature center that has learned to talk. I love playing with that bird.
That bird, Baby (I did not name her--her previous owners did) talks pretty well. She laughs, imitates FaceBook game noises (Wheeee! of Bubble Town), makes kissing noises and says: Baby want a tickle? Good pup! Drook it! (that, I think is her "swearing", which fortunately she mangles), Hi, Baby and assorted other things. She also screams (for fun) and BITES. It's taken me 3 years to be able to convince her to let me scritch her neck and for her to get up and down from my arm as I transfer her from cage to playstand and back.
