I don't know what else to call it.

She wanted to take a shower today and so I took her with me into the shower.
After I was finished and drying off out side of the shower and Bella was in the window she said something that made me look at her.

She had been chattering away and then came out with.

"I go poopy"

When I looked sure enough she had let loose a big one and it was running down the shower wall.

I always new CAG's were smart as Alex had shown the world what was possible. I never expected to have it demonstrated to my by Bella.
This I think is on a par with Alex when asked what color he is and he said "grey"
It shows self awareness.

Amy a Blue Front 'Zon
Jonesy a Goffins 'Too who had to be rehomed :-(

And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
Wes Grey's are amazing. Even my wild caught Smokey came out with statements that totally blew me away...things that weren't even taught to her,she just said and I had no clue where she picked it up from. The most amazing one was when I tried to get her to step up as she ran around the kitchen table,then stopped dead in her tracks giving me the stink eye and said "what the h*** are you doing/?"
Don't underestimate your sweet Bella my friend!

Being owned by a Parrot opens an entirely new World that few others are permitted to experience. And, our feathered family members knock it up another step when they speak in context.

Gotta love it!!!

I just got out of the most recent Red Butt Shower.
Bella repeated her actions of yesterday. Definitely not a fluke.

Bella is going to make sure I stay clean in my retirement. She won't let a day go by without asking for a shower.
She has stopped saying "have to go to work" about a week after I stopped going to work.

Enzo - adopted Female CAG circa 2004. A truly amazing young lady!

Interesting, Enzo is the same for me, shower time I think is her favourite part of the day and definitely the most vocal. We chat and whistle in the shower, she doesn't get wet she just walks along the shower glass chatting away in the steam which is good for them.

Every morning in the shower she would always say 'Byyyye' in the most posh English ladies accent i've heard, id either say 'no bye' or 'bye' depending upon whether I needed to go into work. Since the last 6 weeks of me 'locking down', she has stopped asking, she know im not going any where.

Incidentally, if I put on my shoes or jacket or pick up keys she always says 'Byyyyye', ill have to record her, you will giggle at her 'posh' voice.
