craziest to me is they know what pizza is even if they have never seen a pizza before. They know like yep... that all mine now..... Im' serious never seen a pizza in all their life and yep thats for me.

I add cookies! I've never given mine cookies. My friend dropped of a new to me cookies and my birds swarmed me! They've never even seen them before let alone taste one
