Well, my lil cockatiel has a penchant for using my old dog to climb up on the counter. Java calls Chevy over, and then gets on his back. Chevy goes over to the counter, and the bird uses the drawers to get up, and into the breadbox.

My goose used to hop up on the couch when I was eating there...and usually cuddled until she got it...I always gave in with her.
