just a laugh

Here's a good laugh for you too owners

A lady came in my shop looking for a cockatoo. She's selling off her cockatiels and decided on a cockatoo because in her words, a cockatoo can't be any noiser that my cockatiels.

Well, actually Maxie and Whiteboy are a lot quieter than the tiels most of the time. The tiels are a constant noise and the too's just sound off once in awhile.

I prefer the Too noise. lol

If only there was a way to send "Do not sell birds to this woman" signs D:
If she gets a cockatoo... oh... the poor thing x_x

Stupid woman. Less constant noise perhaps, but not as noisy..? No.

I would recommend that she get an Umbrella Cockatoo - their "call" can only be heard for THREE MILES!!! LOL

I agree - give her the sign she's earned!!!
