Spectre Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 For those that read my prior post, I brought home a 12 year old CAG home about two weeks ago. Tonight I had a moment of insight into this amazing creature, and fell in love with her for life... A little background to the situation. I think at her old home, she must have seen a lot of cop movies or TV shows. As to myself, I am a police officer. A rather young one. I'm 23 years old, which is unusual in this line of work. Anyways... She was sitting in my room as I was getting changed into my uniform to go to work (which she has witnessed every day for two weeks now). In the middle of this, I received a phone call from dispatch that there was an emergency situation that would require special equipment (that I normally do not carry). I don't know whether she picked it up in my voice, or whether it was when she saw me pull out and load my assault rifle (first time she had seen it). But she said clear as day "What are you doing with that rookie?" I was utterly stunned. Not only did she pick up on the rifle, but obviously on the fact that I'm young for being a cop. :blink: I said to her "I have to go save lives". She then gave some kind of whistle, and said "Be careful out there." And as I put her in her cage and turned to leave, she said "Come home safe". I was shocked, and touched to the point that I had tears in my eyes. I now love this bird with all of my heart, and will do so every day that I am fortunate enough to have her.
Tari Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 wow that is amazing. How lucky are you to get a police bird. hehe Cant wait to hear more stories.
Ice Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!! You see what I mean by attached? I bet you can't wait to see her again.
Caspersmum Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Hey Spectre, that's amazing - isn't it incredible how clever these wee things are. I know people say they don't have emotions, but I just don't believe it! Julia
Talon Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 What an incredible story. That brings tears to your eyes! Such a special caring bird already!! You're very lucky.
ZoesDad Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Wow! I've read that these little ones are intellectually on par with dolphins and great apes. What a story. Please post some pics when you get the chance and do take your bird's advice while on the job!
judygram Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 You've got one smart girl there Spectre, they can be amazing creatures.

Tycos_mom Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 That so neat its wonderful when they get older and have learned to have real conversations with you rather than just hello and words I have a 10 yr old Amazon that talks to me all the time about different thing she's my best friend by far. She always ask me where I'm going. don't be late.

NerfGunWarHero Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Thats amazing, and I am so happy for you and her.
jimmycoop2005 Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Awesome, I am young like you. I am 20, and I wanted a pet that could be my "life partner" no matter what happens in life it will be with me. I have that now, and it seems like you do too. Except yours is already more attached to you haha lucky, mine is still being well.... a baby.
judygram Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 It takes time Jimmy for Cosmo to learn to trust you but in time he will and then the bond will come and you two will be set for a long, long time to come.
nevjoe Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Very good story about the bird. They shock you all the time. Great birds. Lots of luck with her. Joe
