dads birdthis is another one involving one of dads pets. a few years after the cat he got himself a cockateal, and what many people dont know is that these birds can actualy learn how to speak with enough repitition. most of the time they dont say anything intelligent, but this time the bird left us rolling in our seats.
now as most kids do when the 'rents go out of the house, is running around doing all the stuff that'll get'em in trouble. my brother and i where fond of using foul language when mom and dad weren't there. well, dad has some more food this day, and the bird is squacking and flapping around in his cage for a nibble. needless to say this was not something the bird needed to have, so he didnt get any. dad finished his snack and puts the bowl in the kitchen, and goes up to the cage to take to the bird. the following exchance happened
dad: there, now it wasnt so bad that you didnt get some of my food. was it? youre ok. who's my good birdy? im a good bird... im a good bird.
bird: (clearest thing the bird EVER said) F*CK YOU!
dad: WHO TAUGHT YOU TO SAY THAT!
