Bentley and Shadow

My friend had a beautiful bird and Bentley was his name He was a little cockatiel and he liked to play a game Where he'd undo a charm bracelet,throw it all around He'd say his name so loudly then he'd make a giggling sound She got another cockatiel,a smaller one than Bentley "Pretty boy Bentley"he'd yell out and look at you intently She had to name him Shadow for he was a bit confused He mixed up his identity,his own name he refused I never was a bird person but these two were such fun! They'd sometimes fly around the house and have us on the run Chatterboxes both of them they had alot to say Like"howdy,whatcha doin',good morning" and "no way" I tried to teach them my name but they would have none of it They would say"hey good lookin" so I learned to rise above it!

These talking birds are charming. My mom had a myhna bird that imitated sounds as well as words. She used to fool the dog by imitating his squeak toy. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce
