Before putting my birds to bed every night, I always say, “Night night” while either turning lights off or kissing them goodnight and closing the door.

Cockatoos: Galahs “Bondi” and “Bandit”

In the video you will first hear my Congo African Grey say, “Cressi!” which is her name. She is mimicking a man’s voice though, not mine. The loud whistling that follows is also her (she is the best whistler of the current flock). But then she stopped… because she and Bondi (the galah pacing on [...]
