dhorje Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I normally put a little health drink in a small stainless steel bowl and placed on the fridge for Koko to drink. After drinking, Koko would carry the bowl, walked to the edge and dropped on to the floor. To prevent her from dropping the bowl, my wife prefers to hold the bowl tight and Koko would drink from her arm. After drinking, Koko would try to take the bowl from my wife's grip. My wife wouldn't allow her to do that. After a couple of failed attempts to remove the bowl, she thought of a brilliant idea. Yesterday, as usual she couldn't get to take the bowl after finishing her health drink, Koko gave my wife a hard bite. My wife released her grip and Koko quickly grabbed the bowl and dropped on the floor. How cunning!<br><br>Post edited by: dhorje, at: 2009/11/22 07:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillyBeanz Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Ha Ha! Yes - they know what they want and they know how to get it! It's taken Koko a couple of days - but heyhoe - the solution is the nip! Clever Koko :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 {Feel-good-0002006E} How very clever of Koko, I'd call that being completely out-witted lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 LOL!!!! Brilliant Koko, Bravo!!! :-) Everyone knows, after a celebration or ceremonial drink, you toss the container. You are are training your humans very well in proper etiquette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Aren't they just clever? Your wife is going to step it up to be even more clever with locking down his dish without using her own fingers... LOL. Either that or she teach Koko to use the dish mop to clean up his own mess.

judygram Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thats funny, your wife thought she was being smart but got outwitted by a grey with a walnut sized brain, Koko was not going to be denied her right to toss the bowl, hope she wasn't bitten too hard.

dhorje Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Afraid of being bitten again, my wife placed the bowl on the fridge this morning. Koko didn't want to drink and wanted to toss the bowl. My wife took the bowl away and placed it on the cabinet. Koko wanted to toss the bowl again. Finally, my wife had to hold the bowl and Koko drank from there. She is such a demanding parrot. But this time no biting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
