      Im to late. I was going to say this was obviously posted by someone who has never had a parrot species. I pretend to my goffin that I don’t like him ripping the cardboard I put around his cage so it becomes more of a target.

        same with ferrets. if you don’t give them outlets to be “bad”, they will destroy everything. lots of pretending I don’t notice a they drag the old shoes across the floor to the new hiding spot, or “steal” kibble from the bag. had one guy that would check to see if I was busy in the bathroom before he’d go do the thing he really wanted to do. like steal the candy off my desk.

        my cat, on the other hand, just yells for what she wants. worst case, if I leave her alone too long, she might decide she deserves a treat and will get it for herself. from the bag I left on the floor, knowing she could her it herself.

      My dog sees my girlfriend and I and then after, she wants a piece of my leg. It’s kinda cute, but disturbing at the same time. She knows what she’s doing. Parrots yeah I’m not surprised either.

        Went to a girl’s house once. Her (female) Dachshund sniffed me a little when I got there, otherwise no interest in me.

        The second I kissed the girl, oh boy. Dog was straight over, barking her head off, walked over the back of the sofa and plopped herself in-between us growling. She knew exactly what we were planning to do and wasn’t having it. Attempted cock block by a Weiner.
