More about Bert!

Bert, our Senegal parrot, does not like green beauty masks. Last night I had one on and he freaked out. He flapped around his house and squawked. I went out of the room right away and he calmed down. Now we know not to do that again. We changed his toys the other day and one of them has a bell on it. We can hear him as he dings it but when we go to look at him he stops when we get in there. It is very hard to sneak up on him because the floor creaks and he is a very good listener. Bert also really likes peanuts. I think he likes the salted ones better than the unsalted ones. He holds them in his left foot and slowly pulls off pieces of shell and nibbles out the nut. He also like popcorn, but most of it falls apart while he tries to eat it.

Bert the Senegal parrot

Bert is a Senegal parrot that I got for Christmas. He is green with an orange vest and a gray head. Bert is about 14 years old. He says Good night, Good morning, What are you doing?, Pretty Bert or pretty pretty pretty Bert, Come here, Merry Christmas, shhh, coughs, laughs, beeps like an alarm clock and look at me. He is so loud you can hear him when you take the dog out. He is the size of a 20 oz pop bottle. He is not a good flier and has only flowing for us twice. Once out of his house and on to my back and to the bed (he is in my brother's room) and then back to his house. If you are talking, he will some times repeat what you said. One time Mom was yelling for Kacheekers and Bert yelled out Kacheekers. Bert also loves attention and being petted. If you sit in the bedroom and play with Lego's, or don't look at him, after a couple of minutes he will start talking to get your attention. He likes to listen to the radio so we play it for him.
