My Banker playing dog

[MikeD91]

It's funny I've only seen this happen twice. She surprises me with cool funny stuff all the time. I still get excited to hear new stuff from Banker!

Can't see this one, if there is a picture.

Noodles is OBSESSED with dogs and it is unhealthy because she thinks they all love her like she loves them..She calls to them, throws toys for them, feeds them and even speaks on their behalf if they want something LOL!

Tried to post a video. I guess I need some practice. I'll get it up soon.

Be warned--- due to the danger of birds and dogs, your video may not be allowed once you post. I am just letting you know, because while many people are very cautious and know their dogs well/supervise extremely closely , some people might see it and get the wrong idea about what is okay to do with parrots, you know? I once posted a picture of my bird close to my dog and it was (gently) removed for that reason.

I understood, but I am telling you because it's always a bit cringey to get that PM from a mod lol!
I am NOT the one who makes those calls, but I think there MAY be a forum rule somewhere about posting pictures of parrots with animals that could harm them...so this is merely a heads-up (despite the fact that I am sure you are a very protective and cautious owner etc!)

You are correct on that my dear friend. As an ex-mod,that was a rule if I remember correctly.

So it's sort of like the warning on a hair dryer? You know the one that says "Do not use in Shower"? You know that nearly everyone wouldn't do it but there is always that one person . . . .

I don't see evidence MikeD91 intended to post an image of bird + dog. Because the subject arose, here is the rule against placing animals in compromising situations:

14. Posting Photos of Birds with Other Animals:

Pictures of predator animals together with pet birds are not allowed on this site and will be removed if posted.

While we recognize that many of our members (and some of our mods) live in households with more than one type of animal, some who visit our site may only see the cute aspects of a bird cuddled up with a dog, cat, rat, snake, etc, without realizing the danger involved with such a pairing... or the deliberate precautions necessary to prevent tragedy. We at Parrot Forums have always put the safety of the bird first, and as such have chosen to make a ban on predator/prey pet pictures official forum policy.

This rule generally pertains to pets, as opposed to pictures taken in the wild of scenarios occurring in nature; but we reserve the right to remove any such non-domestic photos if deemed disturbing to our members or potentially harmful to the birds of this community.

I can understand that clearly, it would be potentially dangerous. My video that when I get it up is not like that at all. Banker is safely in her house no dog anywhere. She likes to bark at the door when someone comes in. She gets all fluffed up and sounds like a little ankle biter! Banker is 50 and has been with a couple family's over the years. Not sure where she picked it up at, but it's not the bark of my dog. While I would never put them close enough to be in contact, I don't think either would do anything? I would never take the chance just in case.
On another note, my YNA Bill loves yelling out hello every time the phone rings. It always gets a laugh when he yells hello at the ringing phone!

See if this works?

Yea I did it! Now that I kind of figured it out I'll put a couple more vids of my Banker.

I posted that warning because the title was " My Banker playing dog" AND when I read it, I thought it said "Banker playing with dog"-- That was what I misunderstood-- assumed it was your dog and Banker playing-- wasn't mean to be accusatory guys!!!!

Misunderstood title; " My Banker playing dog" and assumed it was a video of Banker and his dog---when I read it, I saw "Banker playing with Dog"--MY BAD! :0

Extraordinarily fine rendition of a smallish dog bark! Not only the intonation, but head movements are on point.

It's nice to see you guys and girls always being on point with what is best for one of our friends. Please don't mention it again, I totally agree with what was said and why.
Now for Banker barking? She has only done it a couple of times. It just makes me think more of her for it. It makes me realize that she has a past and remembers it. Her being 50 and moving up the country like she did, she has been moved around a lot. I guess with her being so sweet and loving makes her easy to just have someone wanting her. Unfortunately it's in their nature to scream super loud and a lot of people don't like that, and that's my wife and son. Since I work nights, and the wife 9 to 5, I just let her do her thing for awhile before the wife gets home. We have fun whistling, chirping and singing.
