Peach-faced Parrots aren't know much as being great 'talkers' but he does have a talent for "blowing raspberries ( Bronx Cheers), and can say what sounds like "Shut up," " Shit," and ocassionally either "Piss off" or "F you."

Yeah she was quite interested in him and how I allow his to live outside his cage.

@Triphid it's pretty neat with a bird around. I'd be kind of nervous about the potty training issue, but they can be awful smart. a friend I had in college had a crow. didn't talk but he seemed to have his favorite songs to dance to.

@hankster That's why 'Henri Le Merde' (aka Henry the Turd...LOL) as I call him has a large plastic sheet under his cage area.
He has learned, by himself I might add, to 'aim' his 'deposits' onto the plastic when his cage is open during the times he's inside the house.

@Triphid now that's a good bird.

@Triphid when you said you let him out I just thought you meant in the house.. what do you do, take him out for a flutter around the block?

@hankster No, just around inside the house.
Outside he's in his cage but once the chain that holds his cage up above 'cat access' level broke and it hit the ground, the door opened and he merely wandered around the front verandah looking for me I suppose.
When there only the 2 of us here and I leave the room he actually squarks his head until I return and he can again see me.
Omly last evening, I left the room the room to make coffee for Tracey and myself ONLY to return and find that 'traitorous, little Deviant had actually climbed up Tracey's Track suit leg and was resting on her shoulder asleep.
So much for 'Avian Loyalty'....LOL.

@Triphid you may have some competition there. squark, a great piece of word. I know what you meant, but I found this interesting about that word. you could start a blog...Coffee with Two Timer Tracy and Turd Bird.

squark
/skwärk/
nounPHYSICS
noun: squark; plural noun: squarks
the supersymmetric counterpart of a quark, with spin 0 instead of 1/2.

@hankster More like "Two Timing Bird and one very shocked and surprised Tracey."
From this day forward, Henri Le Turd will be confined to barrackswhenever Tracey visits since he very nimbly also stole one of her earings which neither of us noticed missing UNTIL she went home and was getting ready for bed.
I found his 'trophy' hidden in his seed dish this morning btw.

@Triphid yep...that bird has his mind made up. probably practicing cooing right now.

@hankster Nope, outside under the front verandah instead, calling out to other birds that he hear around the place.
I've often found things he has 'thieved' that belong to me, things like my Signet Ring ( silver and shiny of course) that I always take off and leave on the Coffee Table when I get home and the odd shiny, silver 5 cent pieces.
They all end up in his seed bowl for some unknown reason.

@Triphid leave some big shiny ball bearings around too heavy for him to pick up.

@hankster With Peach-faced parrots ANYTHING they can pick up and tuck away in their tail feather region is fair game, especially shiny objects and shredded paper.
i've actually sat and watched him shred aa entire double page from a tabloid newspaper using only his beak, they are quite artful and talented imo.

@Triphid you can start with some that he can then gradually start making them bigger and bigger. I wonder if it would piss him off. two-timing bird.

@hankster Oh I do do things just to 'piss him off.'
One is that EVERY time I clean his cage I deliberately change all the hanging 'toys' in it, another is to move his seed bowl to a different location inside the cage or swap ALL his hanging toys around on his chain 'bridge' as well.
But by far the best 'piss off' comes from putting an empty 600ml drink bottle, neck first into his 'Penthouse Apartment,' that really annoys him and his antics are well worth the laugh.

@Triphid now I'm feeling sorry for the bird. no wonder he's trying to steal your lady friend.

@hankster I'd say that he definitely feels neglected IF I don't do the 'piss him off' from time to time.
I just finished reading an article about Peach-faces that says that they will get very bored at times and will tease each other as well as other bird species just relieve the boredom, so, maybe, my teasing him is helping to relieve his bouts of boredom.
