Elvis was quite the big mouth this morning. As a guest, he gets fed first in the morning...but he wanted some scritches along with food, which we didn't have the time for then. So, E put up a fuss...a loud fuss.

Towards the end of E's protestations, I was giving Milton breakfast...and Milty had this observation...

Milton: "'DAT A BAD BIRD!"

Me: I don't think he's a bad bird, but he's certainly a loud one...

Milton: "OK'...

That Milton is such a clever bird. Is he jealous?
I can't get a read on Milton about his feelings towards Elvis....he seems to like to see him ...he bounces up and down when they meet. Like @JLcribber said...given time they probably would develop a "friendship".

Elvis seems to enjoy the littles...he likes to yell at (or with) Buddy...and yesterday when Sunshine flew in to the computer room, E came over and sat on the shoulder unoccupied by Sunshine...and started to walk over to him, with his head down in a submissive way. They didn't actually come too close together, though. We'll let them do that tomorrow...

Elvis was being a real card today...a lot of screaming and flying around. He and I had a "yell-fest" ...a first for him, which he seemed to enjoy very much.
Anyway, Kathy was in the computer room, and he got to fly around and generally have a good time. However, Kathy had to leave, so E went back into his cage... E wanted more attention...so began to scream.
Unfortunately, (for Elvis) "The Price Is Right" was on. Milton was sitting on me when this transpired...

Milton: "DAT A BAD BIRD!"

Milton jumped off me, (again) ran over to the computer room, (again) and pushed the door open. (again)

Milton: "YOU A BAD BIRD...SHUT UP NOW!"

When Milty returned to the room...

Me: (adding fuel to the fire, because it's so much fun!) Did you tell Elvis off?

Milton: "GOT DAT RIGHT"...

Sometimes you have to have some fun...playing with their minds...;)

:coffeescreen: Milty wants Elvis to know who's boss -- and no one interrupts the Price is Right ;)

Has Elvis shown any reactions to "eat dat pig" yet?

Elvis really hasn't had any reaction to anything the birds say. He does like to yell with or at Buddy, though.

E just gives the piggies dirty looks when he sees them...

I feel sorry for those piggies! Why are they so hated :sad3:

... :lol:
I believe that some birds are "hard wired" to dislike rodents because of the rodent's tendency to be predators of the bird's nests...not that our piggies would do that.

Our birds are jealous of the pigs...;)

...that , or some weird, wacky, unholy alliance between Elvis :be2: and Buddy :nanday:.....:scared2:
Maybe a bit of explanation for all of you...Elvis and Buddy seem to have taken a liking to each other. Buddy came into the computer room this morning...and Elvis COOED AT HIM!

I don't know what to think of that...:hmmm:

Milton knows how to push my buttons...and does it to his advantage every time he can. I have to get my swings in any way I can...;)
