Rumba Rue Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Well I have an interesting little Senegal parrot, Gilligan. He's quite a talker - when he thinks no one is in the room. He knows lots of pirate sayings such as, 'Ahoy Matey, Shiver me timbers, Pieces of eight, pirate, land-ho, abandon ship and many others I can't remember off hand, not to mention quite a vocabulary on other words (no cuss words- tried to be careful of that), but I've been working hard to teach him a new one 'taste like chicken'. For the longest time the bird just refused to say it. I guess maybe he thought he was the chicken. Now he does and you can hear 'Tastes like Chicken!' quite a lot. It's absolutely hysterical especially when he changes it to "Pirates, taste like chicken".
PyratePhil Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 LOL! That is soooo cool! Do you take him to faires and such? ...Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum... ~ Vegetius
Rumba Rue Posted August 2, 2006 Author Posted August 2, 2006 Yes we do take him to faires/events when we can. He doesn't talk much, but some have heard him say 'pirates, pirates' and 'goodnight'.
Black Bess Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I don' have a parrot of my own, but a friend 'o mine has one that I think she taught to say "chocolate" "Life's good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate after all."
