Hi Brian,

*-) How many repeats does it take for a parrot to pick up an expression word-perfect?

How does such a thing implicate the wife/ex, when it didn't include her name?

Is Bud yours, Brian?

Does he play with your cats?

Would you like me to go now?
Cheers, Mike.

:lol: Bud is the actual parrot from the news article. It would be great fun to have a parrot, although the younger cat would probably attack the parrot. She recently tore into a Robin...poor bird. :(

btw, Brian,
Speaking of word-perfect, it was "beautiful plumage." ;)
EDIT
Sorry, later in the script, "lovely plumage" does get a mention. :doh:
Cheers, Mike.

Was the parrot sworn in as a witness? 8)
