siobha9 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 A couple of days ago Liath started a new behaviour which really intrigues me. When I went to get her out of her cage I gave her my hand as I usually do. She just looked at it, and backed away slightly and said "Do you wanna step up?". I laughed and said Sorry Liath, do you wanna step up?". And she immediately stepped on to my hand. Later she was on the top of the door in the kitchen watching me work. When I was done I put my hand up for her to take her with me and she did it again. Now she wont step up unless I ask her first:S . Today 3 days later I decided to test it by just putting my hand into her cage and she said it again and didnt move until I asked her! She is even saying it when I go to take Oisin out of his cage. Unbelievable??? Is she trying to put manners on me? Siobhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 That is so cool. :-) It sounds to me like she is asking your permission. To make sure it is ok to step up on your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Sounds like she has you trained pretty good, Siobhan, thanks for sharing that with us, I love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggy Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 What good manners your bird has. Sounds like he has to ask you first and then you need to return the jester. Birds are great arent they. They keep you scratching you head and make you laugh. Good form of cheep entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siobha9 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 She really has understood this phrase. Last night I was lying on the couch with my knee up. She was standing on the couch beside me. She kept lifting up her little foot and looking at my knee. Then she said : "Do you want to step up Liath? Yeah!" Of course I had to pop her on top of my knee. As for cheap entertainment, maybe I have a very sad life, but I am perfectly content to sit in the room and chat to her for HOURS on end. Of course it is not quite 2 way conversation but neither of us mind that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
