When Buckwheat gets food like bananas or the occasional pizza crust he likes to take a bite out of it, raise his head, pin his eyes, and go 'MMMMMM'. It makes me laugh every time. I keep trying to capture it on video

Once in awhile if I hand him something he will take it and drop it then look down at it and go "uh oh"

And for whatever reason, the little devil will occasionally laugh an almost malicious sounding laugh when he is cranky and bites at the cage bars.

Since she was just weeks old Kyleigh has enjoyed putting her head under my armpit. But not just any armpit. It's gotta be the right side (her left). Such a weirdo.

Sissy loves to play with my fingers and make a sound like rahhhrahhrahhh, then she makes kissing noises. My mini Mac is a Velcro Mac and I love it. When I come home from work and she's in th kitchen on her play stand shell yell..commere! Commere! Commere! In my annoying bird voice...absolutely love it!!!

Illiger's Macaw (Loki)
I love the sound Loki makes when he sees food he likes. Kind of sounds like "oooooo" going up and down in pitch. Puts a smile on my face every time.

If I fall asleep on the couch he sometimes works his way over and give me a tap on my head to let me know to wake up and give him scratches.

Love this thread! I honestly don't know where to start. Both my big macs do and say hilarious things each and every day.

Some of the things they say (and mean): "Gimme that!" <-- this applies to anything and everything they 'claim'. :54:

When I give them something they like both of them will say "More?"

Niko calls "Oscar" (our American Bulldog) when it's time for the dogs' breakfast.

After Ripley had a particularly vigorous 'flap flap' session while I hold him he thinks it's necessary to preen my hair (which has flown all over the place if not tied up), and he'll tell me "Easy", "Ouch" or "MINE". :52:

When Niko wants his head scratched he'll tell me "Itchy Itchy" and puts his foot on his head. :D

Niko: "Want a cracker!" Me: "I don't have one, it's in your cage." Niko: "Let's go get it."

A short video of Niko's favorite game. (You all know how they zip their beaks the minute they see the camera, so I snuck by Hunter's cage and pushed 'record'. You'll hear me and Niko's reply if you listen carefully :09:)

Great thread.

One thing BB does that makes me laugh every time. He will whistle to the dogs and what ever he does not want to eat he throws to them.

Maggie and Sarah play a game we call "Death from Above." Scares the crap outta people who don't realize this is a game...

Maggie goes "Big Bird" and does what we call "the evil laugh." Sarah does a fake scream, and takes off running... Maggie then chases her around the couch. When Sarah decides she's had enough, she just sits or lays down on the floor, and Maggie goes from chasing her around the room, to instant lap bird.

She doesn't do this one for me. Just Sarah.
