My Parakeet, Ike, Is A Quick Learner….

It came in cooler on Friday so I put all the birds out in the sun room for 4 days and nights. Tuesday morning it was getting really warm and was supposed to get up to 100 so I brought all of them back into the house. Come dinner time we sat at the table and I heard Ike say in a quiet voice “What do we get?”. I told him if he wanted to complain about something I would put him back out in the sun room and he could sit out there all by himself and complain about the heat. He didn’t say another peep…kept quiet all through dinner. Smart bird.

He probably wants some greens. Did you make a salad? He seems to get a little demanding when he sees you serving salad.

@cherokeepatti It's the greens. They are triggering his demands...🤣

@4meAndyou When I open the refrigerator door and they hear produce bags making crinkly sounds they sometimes start up.

@cherokeepatti There's the answer, then...they are green junkies...don't show them the greens!!! 🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou they don’t care for mustard greens, collard greens, kale or spinach. They’ll taste them and then not eat them. They want turnip greens.

@cherokeepatti They like that spicy flavor!

@4meAndyou Mustard greens have a stronger flavor but they always like Turnip greens better.
