Owner said: I bought her as a chick and hand raised her. She is super smart and has such a great personality. She enjoys men, and used to come down off her cage and waddle across the floor just to stand in front of my guy friends and do this little foot kick thing and say "wanna come here" and "hey baby". She gets excited listening to conversations and laughs at the appropriate times. At one point my friend & I were teaching her to play UNO the card game. She loves colors and games. When it's time for bed she says "nite nite" in a cute chirpy way, but if you dont go to bed soon enough, her tone changes to a stern and more harsh "NIGHT NIGHT" sort of like Sir, I said good day. She's truly a sweet bird.
