Kiwi is a good bird. Not. This green-and-yellow terror was five years old when I adopted him from a woman who didn't want him any more. I should have asked why. Kiwi's like a surly teenager. He'll accept affection on his terms only. For the first couple of years I had him, he had a horrible biting problem. He actually ripped my fingertip off one time! GOOD BIRD! An accomplished dancer, Kiwi's favorite artists include Janis Joplin, Erasure, Morrissey, Elton John, and many others. He jams hard. I'm going to teach him trance and jungle next. Yes, he talks, but it's cuter in theory than it is in practice. His repertoire includes "Come here; I'm pretty; pretty pretty pretty; Jerry (the husband of his previous owner); pretty birdie." These are all phrases he learned in his other home -- I haven't been able to get him to say a damn thing no matter how many times I coach him. "Say 'crack rock' for Mommy!" Nothing. Kiwi likes to greet the day by running through some of his favorite phrases. I'm woken up pretty much every morning by "COME HERE I'M PRETTY COME HERE PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY JERRRRRRY!!!" I'll get photos up soon. |
