Thanks for the giggle! That's all you need, though, is for the cat to take over your computer!
My youngest Quaker parrot, nOOdles, was brought home as a companion for Sprout, whose cagemate, Zoot passed away about 6 months prior to our adopting nOOdles. Zoot lived with other folks before he came to us and used to say "Buster, Buster, Buster. . .etc" (which was obviously his name before he lived with us). The day I pressure washed Zoot's old cage (about a year after he passed away) and finally put it in the shed for storage after buying a new cage for Sprout and nOOdles, I came in the house and told my husband, "Well, there go the last remnants of Zoot!" Within minutes I heard a little voice in my bird room saying, "Buster, Buster, Buster" and saw that it was nOOdles.
We don't know if Sprout secretly taught him to say this or if Zoot is the flock's guardian angel-parrot and has been watching over my little nOOdles, making him safe and comfortable in his new home. Regardless, it was shocking but comforting and sweet at the same time. Now that nOOdles says "Buster, Buster. . .", we will always have Zoot in our home.
I miss him!![]()
