Damien just looks at me as if to say "Yeh dats right.. you clean my mess up, slave person...."

And the finches just bunch together and just watch silently.

Damien is a clever boy
I wonder what goes through their minds, obviously they are not scared, probably just curious.

I hardly used the vacuum now, we have tiled floors, but when I do occasionally use it, he dances and sings at the top of his voice.

I really get no reaction to the v. cleaner at all. It has become part of our flock.

My Nanday still hates it. But, she hates anything that comes into her room that isn't normally in here.

My BC loved it. And when I swept under her cage, she would start tossing pellets for me to clean up. Apparently she thought I was enjoying the sweeping and wanted to make more fun for me. I had a budgie that did that as well.

My zon doesn't yell but he doesn't seem to like it either. He just watches, somewhat on alert.

Quaker parrot, Ralph

George the Yellow-crowned Amazon often would take a bath when I ran the vacuum-- or he would laugh as if the vacuum were the funniest thing he'd ever seen.

Ralph the Quaker takes advantage of the noise the vacuum makes so he can practice new words and sounds without being overheard.

Opi perches and squawks. Keen FREAKS out; big time. She clings to her cage bars and screams.

The first time I vacuumed behind Leela's cage with the new fancy vacuum she alarm called (it sounds like a klaxon..she usually only does it when she's at the vet), but since then she just peeps angrily and stares at it.

Puck loves the noise and chatters up a storm. He also does this when I am doing dishes, or when he hears music he likes, or sounds in a movie he likes, etc.
