rbpittman Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Of course, everyone who is in here knows how smart Grey's are and won't be surprised one bit by this post, but I have to tell you about Dixie's lastest bit of intelligence! I was sitting on the floor with her, small blocks ready for play, a few foot balls to entertain with, some nice pine nuts to munch on and no other distractions....except. Her ladder! It was still visible. It was still attached to her perch swing. It was calling her. She had just left the perch swing (which sits in front of a window) and was ready to play. She had been talking to me and calling to me, and seemed to want to play. Well she played all right. She got a few pine nuts, and my attention, and then made a bee line straight to the ladder and up she went to her perch swing. Talk about smart - my attention and munchies and back to where she wanted. I can tell I'm going to have to make sure the ladder is not anywhere in sight for our next floor adventure!

SchroedersJen Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 The little stinkers are too smart for our own good. I still remember the first time Schroeder made the telephone ringing noise. I picked up andf said hello. He looked at me and laughed "Hahahahahahahaha!" What a brat. I'm sure everyone has been triched by their "bird brained" companion at least once.

Tycos_mom Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Oh yes we all get tricked by them sometimes Tyco has my daughters voice down perfectly and once my daughter was in the bath and I heard her scream Mom I went to the bathroom to see what she wanted only to have her look at me like I had lost my mind. It makes you feel kinda foolish when you get tricked by your bird doesn't it. ha ha ha:laugh:<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/05/17 18:55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
