Bella is still learning new words and phrases just as fast as ever. After teaching her “Red butt chicken” she has modified this to.
Red butt kiss.
Red butt sweet girl.
Red butt bird.
Red but shower (with a little help from me).
Bella has also learned a couple of unfortunate things from me that can’t be typed up here.
This is the video that made me want to teach her the red butt chicken phrase.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yqf2whYAOw"]Einstein Parrot creates new meaning to the phrase "Red Butt". - YouTube[/ame]

In addition to mentioning Einstein the CAG there is one other CAG that I found that deserves an honorable mention. His name is Pickles and lives in Canada. His owner has written several books about him and I think they are worth reading. The authors name is Georgi Abbott. He also has a youTube channel and is easy to find if you search for it.

The other thing that has been going on with Bella is…. Startling/ surprising.

My wife has Beak-a-phobia. The only birds she is not scared if are the Tiels. Bella has tried many times to land on my wife’s shoulder only to be greeted with a cry for help and pleading for my Son or myself to remover Bella.

Twice now Bella has landed on my wife’s legs (while she is setting in the recliner) and slowly walking up to her. She lowers her head next to my wife’s hand and ask for scratches. Now this is so un-Bella like behavior I can only guess that she is deliberately showing my wife that she wants to be friends and she won’t harm her. Bella never wants scratches from me or my Son and we are the ones that walk around the house with her on our shoulders.

That’s about it. Don’t have any special pictures this time. Bingo :16: did a real number on my middle and index finger this morning. He bit through my index fingers nail and the last joint of my middle finger feels like it got hit with a hammer.:11: :17:

Yep...certainly sounds like Ms Bella is going the extra mile in trying to get Mrs Texsize to be buddies with her! :) I feel for your wife buddy..she doesn't know what she is missing as far as being pals with an AG!
EDIT: LOL "Red Butt Corn" WOW Bella is clear as day with her chatting..awesome!
