 FW>  ! Origin: Wings Over Texas - Elgin, Texas (1:382/92.5) Hi Fran!  Nice 
to meet you.  Let's hope Bogie keeps up his past good record and doesn't do 
like yours!   He taught my parakeet to talk and he would never lower 
himself to call himself a pretty bird or anything dumb like that, but he 
teaches the others to say it!  He's trying to get them to say "Hello" when 
they start screaming.  He doesn't like it any better than I do!  We've never 
had a bird scream like that Conure so he doesn't understand it either!  
Sounds like you have lots of entertainment at your house!  Bogie's the best 
conversation I get most of the time around here.  I'd be lost without him.  
And when I come in from being gone he says "I missed you".  He tells me he 
loves me all the time; he plays peek-a-boo, etc.  He was never hand tamed and 
although I had him where I could scratch his head, you have to really watch 
him.  He'll turn and bite in a flash.  Still does.  If he needed to go back 
in his cage, you just tell him to go to his room and he'd walk over and climb 
up and in all the while saying "Got go to your room".  Then when he's in 
says, "That's a good boy."  He's by the fish aquariums and loves to watch 
them and tells everybody how pretty they are.  He gets real interested in 
anything I'm fixing or working on and  watches very intent ly and says "You 
fix it?" or "I fixed it".  He asks "What makes Bogie bad?" and then answers 
with "Peanuts".  And I could go on and on, but have bored you long enough.  I 
thought he was so smart until I saw the one on TV named Alex (the scientists 
work wi th).  That really got me.  What does yours do besides starting 
arguments among the others?
