Would not matter Kevin... you would give me a discount anyway... especially if I bring Dudders along for you to meet. He is... interesting. I should tell the story on here of our "how not to remove an Aviator harness" fiasco that resulted in one heck of a rumpled parrot pretzel! He just gave me this long-suffering look while completely contorted and entangled. It was priceless.

Mitreds are not for everyone. They are... um... unique. They really are quite different from any species I have come across. They are an acquired taste you could say. LOL

BTW... I know how fast they are at the whole "lunging at you if you come in my cage" game. And Dudley has no excuse of showing off for the female to make me see the humor in it!

They can have the mitreds, but save a Pi for me!

(I hope you find out what happened to Lizzie. How awful. :(

You don't want a Pi, they will boss your zons around then no one will be happy. I have a little BH Pi girl who pushes my big male DYH zon around..its pretty funny..I *almost* feel bad for Ozzy!

Dudders does this... for me. Not sure I would suggest YOU try it with him... but you are welcome to give it a shot! LOL

Yeah... when he is ticked off, you learn the concept of "personal space" pretty quick! Luckily he is rarely mad at me.

His newest "genius idea" is to call to me after lights out. He will make the "Mitred honk" noise just a time or two. If I say, "Night night Dudders... go sleepy" he stops. If not... he wakes up the neighborhood. He will do this hourly at times. Even at 3 in the morning. (Good thing I do not sleep much!)

This comes after the "crying" for an hour routine, then we had the "I refuse to go back in my cage and you cannot make me... at least not without bruises" phase.

It is always SOMETHING with him!

Well, the Cubans think they are pretty tough buggers! My vet said they reminded her of Pi's!

Have you ever met a Yellow Faced Amazon? They are said to be more Pi-like and I find them fascinating.
