@Travelbug Oh those little British robins are so cute. They are very friendly like some of our robins are here. They start getting excited in the hot part of summer if I am standing outside in the yard filling up a bird bath or water something and they come close perching on a fence. I had one that got really close watching me rake up leaves in the yard. They love to hop down and look for bugs to eat. Anyway it was pretty close and I stood really still and it came up close. I made a chirp noise without moving and the feathers on top of its head went on like “How did that happen?” 😂

@4meAndyou Why does Boo-Boo even need hands when he has me???

@cherokeepatti SO true... *cracks whip*...🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou this is the unintended consequences of having talking birds in the house

@ArtieKat He certainly has honed the way he says things and how he communicates. He used to squawk and flap his wings when he wanted something like greens and we were eating (especially green foods like salad or broccoli). I would tell him he would have to wait till we were through eating and then I would get up and get them some greens. Now he says it differently, and he tries to do it when I first go in the kitchen and start cooking. I was making kale salad yesterday for dinner. Boo-Boo pipes up and says “Well…what do we get?” Which sounds a lot more polite than squawking & wing flapping.

@cherokeepatti Priceless!

@ArtieKat When he was squawking to get my attention I would tell him “Use your words, Boo-Boo. That’s not the way to ask for things.” He finally got what I said.
