Mine do and I have seen many others the same way. I have one who likes to have her head scratched, but will run toward my wife when she walks into the room. I had an acquaintance with a Double Yellow-Head (sex unknown) who liked to perch on his shoulder. Whenever a good-looking woman walked in, he would do a wolf-whistle, pull my friend by the ear with his/her beak and say "Look at that". Never with men. It sounds like your dentist's bird has been channeling Monty Python. They are interesting companions since they have the power of speech, which gives the illusion of intelligence. I started to name mine "Mr. President".

My dentist has one in his office, but it ignores me. It will only talk to women with big breasts (yes it ignores flat-chested women, as well as men). When the bird sees one, he starts to whistle and say "Hey, Baby! Hellllooooo. Hey Baby! Come here, Baby!" His receptionist is a dumpy old woman in her 60s, but has big tits, so the bird talks to her incessantly. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 8/17/12 8:16 PM, "Ken Carney" <kcarney1 at cox.net> wrote: >They have eyed my parrots, but that would have some major blowback >potential.
