Inspiring Oscar to laugh- comic timing

[MoonRock]

From time to time, I read to Oscar from various books about birds. I read aloud the following from Alex and Me: "People would ask, 'What is all the fuss about, why was Alex so special?' and I'd say, 'Because a bird with a brain the size of shelled walnut could do the kinds of things that young children do. And that changed our perception of what we mean by 'bird brain'. It changed the way we think about animal thinking."

 

With that, Oscar laughed heartily. I had never heard him laugh so hard. He tends to have great comic timing, and the phrase "bird brain" now inspires him to laugh. I love it!

I love to hear Corky laugh and yes they seam to have the timing down pat.

LOL - Oscar probably finds human thoughts on grey intelligence laughable. He is probably thinking "If you only knew the half of it Lady".

Josey also has the uncanny ability to laugh at the right time and does it just like I laugh, what characters they can be.

I too love to hear them laugh & Biscotti has a great sense of humor & laughs often, usually at himself!

Gracie has only laughed one time and that was right after I first got her and she was imitating a friend. Maybe I don't laugh enough when I'm with her. There is such joy in laughter. I would love to hear that more.

Misty also loves to have a good laugh! It is guaranteed to make me smile even when I am feeling blue.

Jake loves to laugh and like the others have noted they can do so very appropriately. Jake climbed onto my partners knee, made a poop, said "go poop" and then laughed about it. Every day he does or says something that gets me laughing which might be encouraging what we consider a sense of humor.
