Foul-mouthed cockatoo
Cockatoos are highly intelligent birds who don't miss a trick and when they have to have their nails clipped either by the vet or owner they go into a tantrum. Here we have Pebble "expressing" her disgust at the prospect of having her nails done. It's not just the bad language, but the human-like body inflections that makes this short video hilarious--it brings tears to my eyes every time I see it 
The history of Pebble (25 years old) is that is that she has been through 23 homes in her life; some of whom have taught her very bad language The current owner is not responsible for her bad language.

She has a way of doing a sort of hands on hips which is very funny. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Foul-mouthed cockatoo
It is very funny Michael. The wings on the hips is priceless! They have amazing personalities. Most days, they gather in the conifer tree out the front of my house and break open the cones. Ill go out and shoo them away as they make a terrible mess and they reply in a similar manner to the one in the video! A trivia tip..when you hear a cockatoo squawking continuously..you can expect rain very soon. Unfortunately, I haven't heard them much these past couple of months, as we are in drought but hopefully they will start again soon. _________________ Dorothy: Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore |
