#5 They say Ward Churchill parrot is going to testify. He's still alive you know.

And yes PD that was cheap indeed, ha! LOL! ROFLMAO! Don't you know he had a hell of a time in the school yard? With names like that it's fight or die. (trust me on this one)

#7 I had a mynah bird when I was a kid - funniest thing I can recall from my childhood. He picked up on the little stuff - the stuff that really bugs people. For example, my mother had this phoney baloney little throat clearing sound she would make just before she said something she thought "important" - usually a scolding or something pretentious. The bird picked up on it and would torture her with the sound regularly - and we kids could not help but laugh, which really pissed her off, heh.

#8 .com we used to have several Mocking boids that used to immitate a local asthma victim. (really) I think they have an affinity for that throat sound.

#10 I used to count the number of different calls the Mocks around our house would make... too long ago to remember the record number. I DO remember them strafing this cat we had when he walked throught the yard. Eventually the cat decided to get smart and laid on his back - very still. The Mocks went apeshit, and started their strafing runs. The cat would try to grab 'em as they zoomed him. Great sport, I guess. Then, one day, he succeeded in intercepting one. I found the pile of feathers. No more strafing runs at the cat, lol! Nobody can say Mocks are stupid, just loud and gutsy.

#11 .com : Sounds like Martin Whiteshoes who has "residence" at my place. Neither lizard, sparrow, mouse or rat keeps that cat from his daily catch...

(But he prefers raw beef...)

#12 You mean he lets you live with him? That's pretty cool - and gosh-darned generous for a cat, lol!
