Cockatoo Vocabulary Report

I walk by. He does his chirp-cluck-string-a-word-thing at me.



I reply "Blah blah blah blah".

Why not? The information being exchanged is not verbal, it's information: 'hello - got a grape - boy I love grapes' and I reply 'hello - I'll get you one later'.

I'll tell you why not. His vocabulary now includes

blah-blah-blah-BLAH-blah-blah

We've got seventy more years of this.
