It wasn't my bird, but a B&B that I go to in Bend, Oregon... Had this bird on their property, and for a couple of years in spring he would sit on their porch railing and dance, and sing, and preen and flirt with himself in the window. They tried everything to get him to go away... But he became a celebrity and all the guests that visited just loved watching him, because he truly was in love, and didn't realize it was himself. If you think about it , it really is a sad story.... he never got his true love.. himself.

I have a white eyed conure, who learned how to say com'ere (come here). I also have 2 great danes. One of the danes was wandering around the house one day and the bird starts saying, "com'ere, com'ere". So the dane goes over to the cage, bird reaches down like she is going to give her a kiss and grabs a nice big chunk of doggie nose instead. Needless to say, the dog doesnt go over to the cage any more when the bird says com'ere.

My bird sometimes wolf whistles randomly to me, and says pretty bird while bowing to me. A true gentleman! :P Sometimes he'll just be looking at me and I'll be looking at hi and he stands up funny. It's hard to explain. He kind of curves his neck and raises his head up, and stands up, so to speak. Also...when I was younger, a sparrow managed to fly into my house(this was before I was hopelessly obsessed with birds :P). It flew into a room, and I closed the door so it couldn't go to other parts of the house so we could catch it more easily. And.....my cat(now deceased, RIP) happened to be in the SAME room! She chased the poor thing around, while the poor little sparrow flew around by the mirror. And I just stood back and laughed! Sadly. My dad came in after maybe half a minute with a towel, and captured the bird and released it outside. Calvin also bows to me, and stretches his wings whenever I enter the room.
