VALENTINO

We really had no intention of getting a bird.
We had been in the pet store looking at ferrets and my daughter wanted to look at the cockatiels. She loved Cockatoos and they were similar only smaller. All the cockatiels ran and squaked at us except one. He would climb up and down the ladder to us and tweet. Well after standing there a half hour we looked at each other and that was it. He was such a lovey bird we named him Valentino. He loves to be with us and give kisses. He can say his name and the word yes in French. (Don't know how he learned that one) He can imitate the phone ringing and even the internet when we had dialup. Which was awful! He whistles the Andy Griffith tune (my son taught him that one) and whistles "Whose Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf". He makes us laugh and always loves to be with us. Right now he is on my shoulder making sure I'm writing this right and which pictures to use. LOL

Valentino pretending he is a chicken hawk for the rats!
