This is not the first time Luna the cockatoo has caused trouble, a few years back Luna was crying like a baby which led to a visit by child welfare officers.

I can't help wondering if this could be connected in some way with the rioting parrots in New Zealand that I posted about earlier and part of a trend of birds behaving badly.

Too funny! I have a Moluccan just like this &  he's never uttered a word. Pretty cool as they are not known to be big talkers. They're wonderful pets if you can stand the noise.

Vinny, I like this story. It's good stuff.

It is conectted Vini, I think we have a Parrot uprising. My own Grey Parrot Yuki, is been quiet the trouble maker. He gets a kick out of scaring people by hiding and then talking to them, confusing them and even insulting them and once they realise they have been had, he has the meanest laugh you ever heard. He is sort of free and yet never leaves the Farm area, he known where the food is and who gets it for him, probably the only reason he is still holding back.

Thanks Paschen, be careful Yuki does not bring a load of trouble making friends home and wreck the farm.
