What Does Your Cockatoo Hiss At Thats Silly?

I think a cockatoos hiss is adorable, thinking hes so scary and tough! Miley hisses at the remote, I don;t no why she just thinks its "evil" i guess. Its so cute!

My 'too hisses at peanuts. He loves the shells, not a fan of the nuts, though. He also hisses at tennis balls. He has two tennis-ball toys and he hisses at them while ripping them to bits.

Morgan loves to sit on my lap under "our" blanket. If I pick up the blanket to look at her she hisses at me. It's too funny. I just reach in and pet her. That's really the only time I've heard her hiss.

Hissing? OMG... I've never heard it... She'll fluff up when she's being all "threatening". But I've never heard the "hiss"....

Someone please post an MP3 or video if you could. You've got me curious.

Actually, Morgan's is more like a huff than a hiss. Kinda like she's wondering what the heck I'm doing bothering her. I think she's trying to scare me away but I just laugh at her and rub her beak.

Maxie hisses at bugs and Whiteboy. Whiteboy hisses at everything, but he doesn't mean anything by it.

PowerBBS, look at this thread. What is Whiteboy doing? video
Maxie is on my shoulder hissing at Whiteboy in the 2nd video.

huntress, Grumpy's is a definate ''hiss'' too. The silliest thing he hisses at is my husband, because there is no way in outerspace that my hubby would even TRY to handle him. lol
