Can You Help Me Get My Mail?

Yet another busy day, I left my mail in my tiny drawer and almost forgotten about it. Luckily I have Kacy, my Black Capped Conure to help me get my mail from my drawer.

Kacy’s World Cup 2010 Final Prediction

The Netherlands and Spain will be playing in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final on this Sunday. Everyone (including myself) is anxious to know who will eventually lift the World Cup Trophy at Soccer City this Sunday.

Is it the Oranje or La Roja?

I decided to let Kacy, my Black Capped Conure to predict who will be the champion for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.

So who did Kacy pick?

Kacy The Farming Parrot

Kacy, the Black Capped Conure is working out in the strawberry field as a farmer for a day. She spent the whole morning busily harvesting all the sweet strawberries.

I guess Kacy is probably the first ever farming parrot!

It is obvious that everything is fictitious. It is just another parrot trick of Kacy, a simple retrieval trick that I repackaged with a farm theme. This is the parrot trick that everyone has been waiting for!

Kacy and I hope the presentation of this parrot trick will bring lots of fun and laughter to everyone.

Taming an Aggressive Lovebird

On my previous post, I mentioned about helping my friends, William and Amelyn to parrot-sit their parrots, the 3Ts for 10 days. The 3Ts (namely Tweety, Tyson and Teri) are gorgeous, fun-loving little parrots, but there was one big issue.

Tweety (the Lutino Lovebird) and Tyson (the Blue Pacific Parrotlet) are such tame sweethearts. Unfortunately, Teri (the Peach Faced Lovebird) wasn’t as cooperative like the other two. He’s aggressive and very territorial! He would lunged at anyone who tried to pick him up.

Teri gave me a hard bite when I wanted to offer my fingers for him to step-up. The bite was really bad and drew blood instantly. *Ouch*

A nasty bite from Teri, the Peach Faced Lovebird

So never ever underestimate the bite power of lovebirds!

In fact, I wasn’t the only victim. Everyone in the family had gotten a nasty bite from Teri. That’s really one big problem if no one in the family can handle him.

While Tyson and Tweety got to enjoy their out-of-cage sessions, Teri was the only one left in his own cage. I felt sorry for him. Seriously, I do not hope to see him ended up cage-bound after his 10-days stay at our place.

I strongly felt that I ought to do something to improve the situation.

Kacy Deposit Coins in Piggy Bank

When I was at a young age, my mum and dad gave me an important lesson about saving money. Since then, I understand the importance of saving and maintaining a healthy habit by making constant deposits in my piggy bank and saving account.

Saving is a skill everyone needs, including Kacy! And that’s why I got Kacy a piggy bank and taught her how to deposit coins into her piggy bank. I wanted her to get in the saving habit early.

I’m sure that Kacy has demonstrated the importance of saving in her latest parrot trick video and this led me wondering whether will there be any commercial banks be interested to hire Kacy as their banks’ ambassador? *Giggle*

Basketball has now become Kacy’s favorite sports game, and she plays it almost everyday! Whenever I setup the prop and taking out the ball, she just can’t wait to snatch the ball from me and dunk it into the hoop! *Giggle*

Kacy’s Cup Stacking Trick

I started teaching my Black Capped Conure, Kacy parrot tricks one month ago, but I never expected that she turns out to be a fast learner!

Till now, she already can perform 5 amazing parrot tricks! Among the 5 parrot tricks, one of those is the Cup Stacking Trick.

Some of those who have been keeping track on our blog will find the Cup Stacking Trick familiar. Indeed, both Kermit and Kiki had also performed the Cup Stacking Trick before. Unfortunately both of them were no longer around to witness Kacy’s success in performing the trick.
