Have you ever been hit on... by a parrot?

[Dinosrawr]

Hahaha! Seriously, I couldn't stop laughing when this happened. I wish I had it on film, though I'm not sure everyone else would want to see. I live in a basement suite that is essentially a studio apartment, with only one hallway that leads to our "walk-in" closet, the bathroom, and the stairs. So needless to say the birds are always with us. Continuing on, Brendon was getting changed into his pyjamas while I was on the bed reading. I heard Shiko do his wolf-whistle and thought nothing of it, but then my boyfriend said, "Well, Shiko, I never!" And of course, it seemed odd, so I asked why...

When I looked up, he had an appalled face and was looking towards Shiko. Apparently as soon as he pulled his pants down Shiko did his wolf whistle twice and clucked at him. LOL! The things birds say and do is great. I couldn't stop laughing for a good 10 minutes.

It's always the little things

Lol I had a cockatiel growing up who would wolf whistle, and since he lived in y bedroom it did happen every now and then that the timing would be quite perfect.

 

[Kalidasa]

Shiko was saying, "is that a new perch? Or are you just happy to see me"?

 

[RavensGryf]

Birds can be funny that's for sure! .... Oh my gosh Chris lol.

Too funny! Birds are really something else, aren't they!!??

lol Dani, I had tiels in my room too and this happened on more than one occasion. ALWAYS funny!

We had a newfoundland/lab puppy in the house one winter and he figured out how to paw the door handles to open them himself........usually while I was changing. Abraham (our big personality 3 year old puppy) and the tiels had it timed perfect, when the door opened and the tiels wolf whistled at the same time it could really make you jump:20:

 

[SilverSage]

Lol that's great! My tiel growing up would get mad if the light was left on past his bed time and begin to whistle incessantly. If ignored, he would then begin to whine like a puppy. When it first started my mom thought I had someone in my room, and then she thought I had hidden a pup in there (not an unrealistic suspicion given my history), she actually searched my room twice because of this, and was not totally convinced I hadn't pulled one over on her until she witnessed his anger!

You know (Ha ha ) that's funny .... I had a African Grey Congo at an avian store I wanted to hold recently...All personal there said he bites and no one can hold him. I thought I'll give it a try....the congo ran up my arm, dropped its wings, and rubbed it's head all over me making kissing sounds and rubbing my neck. Everyone was in awe struck as no one could handle this grey. He was a cuddle bunny to the extreme here. First time the bird and I met too...this was a couple months back....now everytime I stop in there once a week, this Grey goes crazy to want to see me.
The owner of the store said this grey has taken or chosen me. Others have come in wanting to buy this grey only to be badly bitten by it as it will go to no one. Hmmm, I'd like to bring him home, seriously, but wife says 5 birds is enough for now...sigh. Have you ever seen a parrot do that?

Hahahaha!!! Hilarity, Chantal! Looks like you've got some competition!

I experienced something similar with my dearly departed cockatiel, Suzie. My wife would often whistle at me when I came out of the shower with a towel... and of course Suzie quickly picked up on both the whistle AND the association. Soon enough, I couldn't take two steps in a towel before being loudly and repeatedly serenaded by a series of enthusiastically appreciative whistles. Lol! I miss that bird.

....the congo ran up my arm, dropped its wings, and rubbed it's head all over me making kissing sounds and rubbing my neck.

Leave it to an African Grey. Most birds communicate their affection a little more subtly with body language that might be entirely missed by the untrained human eye.

But not this prospective suitor!

Opting instead to remove all ambiguity and "talk" to you in a language you'd definitely understand. Kisses and neck rubs? Yep. No confusion there! Lol!

You know what the early bird catches....

Omg, hahaha! You had your own fan club going! Maybe I should invest in a ton of cockatiels and train them to do that every time I walk out of my closet, that way I'll always feel fabulous.

LOL! I'll have to show this to my boyfriend and see how he takes it

 

[Birdman666]

Dang! And I used to shower with mine daily...

I guess none of them were impressed, eh?!

Geez... Now I'm hurt! This could give a guy a complex!

 

[strudel]

Are you kidding? I read your story about "the incident".....

HA ha ha ha......used to do same, have a perch in the shower. Just don't tell anyone from "England" (the UK) that you showered with your bird. In English slang it means showering with your significant other....LOL.
And my wife is from England...That's how I found that one out. Har har!

In the mid 90s there was a story on the news. A group of women that worked in an office called the police because each morning when they arrived at work and parked their car in the lot behind the office, someone would start wolf whistling at them from the apartments directly behind the lot. The police respond, go to the apartments to look for this culprit and found a cockatoo that was in his cage on an apartment patio. The owner put him outside most mornings, second floor, and he would wolf whistle when the employees would pull up. The balcony looked over the lot but there were some trees too so the employees couldn't see the cockatoo on the balcony, lol.

This is so funny on two levels! Obviously, this cockatoo with an eye for the ladies is pretty funny! But the fact that a complaint about said whistling actually got an investigative response from the police?!? Really?!? Hahaha!

I grew up in the Bronx. Unless the offender was doing this whistling stark naked save for a pair of black socks and penny loafers, such a complaint would literally have been laughed off the phone!
