I have a cockatiel, hes 29years old and still going strong we had five but hes the only one left, he copies the dogs bark and screeches if they get to near him, hes in our bedroom as i also have cats and when hubby goes to loo he screams till he comes back in , he shouts treats and bell and a couple more things and kisses us, he cant fly now but sits on top of cage and if we dont put a honey stick in every night we get no sleep, thats his treat,
