ok, I have to ask. Who taught her that one?

 

[Mare Miller]

Awesome! Sounds like he lives with a beer drinker!

Well, first of all, Salsa is a "he" ...if he were a "she" he might not be so bold

As for how he learned it, Salsa came to me from a very close friend of mine who passed away earlier this year. My close friend was a "she" who had a husband. Her husband used to burp fairly often and Salsa obviously picked it up. As for why he does it in between gulps when drinking, I don't know. I asked her husband about it and he's not sure either. Maybe someone used to praise him for doing it as he drinks. That's only a guess. I love it though

ROFLMBO AWESOMENESS!!!! Can never get enough of that zesty Salsa

Is he in a CalCage? One piece construction, heavy as all heck? Just asking because Hunter's first cage was a CalCage and it looked identical.

Yes. That's a CalCage 550. It was one I had in storage which Zaf destroyed several years ago (he popped 17 welds on it). When I learned in May that Salsa was coming to join my flock, I had to come up with something quickly. I took the CalCage out of storage and hauled it to the welding shop. You can see the unpainted new welds in the videos.

Well, it may be powerful but it's also the sweetest, most gentle beak in my flock. Zaf is SO tender with hands and fingers.

I guess it would floor some people how strong those beaks are, I quit being surprised at how strong they are. They can definitely do some major damage if they want.

Yeah, the numb area on my right thumb can attest to that (since June when Salsa let me know I was still a stranger to him at that point).

I love this bird..lol. It must never be a dull moment at your place

Since people seem to like my Salsa so well, here's an extended clip with him taking an additional gulp of water. I cut the first clip down to conserve bandwidth. But this one's not that much longer I guess.

OMG! Can't tell you how much I love Salsa! I think I need a daily fix of him, keep the videos coming! He makes me so excited to get Moses! I hope Moses ends up being a character like Salsa!

You're all quite welcome ... Salsa says you're welcome too (with a big BURP at the end, of course )
