Quaker in the cupboard

[cnyguy]

Ralph loves to explore in the kitchen, and has fun transporting clean spoons from the dishwasher to the silverware drawer. Recently, he decided he wanted to know what was behind the cupboard door above the dishwasher. What a fascinating place the dish cupboard is for Ralph.

Awww! You should get a video of his silverware sorting and post it here; I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to see it.

It is great that he likes to help you!

Awww, that is adorable! And yes we need a video!

I'm always telling Ralph that he's such a big help for such a little parrot.

When I have someone here to shoot some video, we'll give it a try (Ralph transports the spoons while sitting on my shoulder, making it impossible for me to take the video myself-- along with the fact that he attacks the camera when I'm holding it). But as soon as Ralph detects the presence of a video-capable camera, he does his imitation of a stuffed toy parrot. He's very good at that.

On another forum I belong to, Ralph is known as "the Gentleman Quaker."

Cute!

Video of silverware sorting would be fun.

No video so far (the odds are sort of against it, since Ralph is unlikely to cooperate, but we'll try)-- but I do have this still picture of what it looked like when Ralph took most of the spoons out of the drawer and piled them on top of the cabinet.

Looks like something an industrious Quaker would do....

He's making a metal nest

Ha! He looks very proud up there in the cupboard.

What a handsome helper.
