cute little video, I like how they include the screams. People just don't realize how ear piercing they can be!

Hardy either, but he is so loud he even makes Rosie yell SHUT UP at him :lol:


(I never yell at my birds, nor do I use the word shut up, but Rosie learned it from someone and one morning she apparently got sick of Hardy's screaming and yelled it at him lol!)

I'd say that video is pretty accurate but they left out:

- The Biting!!
- Hissy Fits
- Shedding feathers and dust all over the place
- Very expensive maintenance costs (toys, perches, etc)
- Hating other people and other people hating them

and the scrubbing of the walls, furniture, floor, and ceiling after a well-appreciated meal!
