When Trick Training backfires!

[bb100]

I taught Max a trick last week. He knocks his beak on the door & say's "Hello" and "Whose there?" Yesterday, he started doing it to his playstand.

Here's the backfire..

Today he's jumped on top of my head like 10x's knocking his beak on my head & saying "Hello" & "Whose there".. in a frustrated tone.

Starting to get insulted perhaps he figures my head is Hollow inside..

he's just letting ya know that he's the superior being in your household

Well you might be on to something - ya know Greys too well. Or it could be Max's idea of "Payback" for bringing the Little Green Amazon into the flock.
