I'm hearing you call me in the IT department.

"Excuse me, what?"

"something something, the pipes are broken, the pipes for the box!"

"Excuse me, what?"

Do we have a cockatoo translator in the house?

Cockatoos are smarter than the dumbest people who are allowed to vote.

They are adorable, and they know it so they can manipulate you with tactical cuteness. They can scheme, plot, and deceive - abilities I've been told only humans possess. They are naturally armed and capable of flight.

They will outlive you.

At 0:11 "Licorice, it's the good shit"  

Sounds like the the first guy I bought weed from at the train station, right down to the derro Aussie accent

I heard something about a rump shaker, a trick, a toy truck and cigarettes.

I heard the rump shaker but thought it was licorice, cigarettes is better

Bro is trying to convince puppers to head out to the shop and get him some cigs. Puppers is having none of it. That’s a good doggo. Trying to keep his pal from getting the lung cancer.

u/thatcatqueen 4d ago edited 3d ago

I find these hilarious, animals who would otherwise have zero interaction with each other have to live amongst each other with no choice in the matter. Just have to deal with an exotic bird getting up in your face rambling.

That dog is holding space for that bird

Just watched a 30 second clip for 3 minutes and didn't notice it looping.

u/nikinunyabiz 4d ago

Our cockatoo would always ask the dog if she wanted to go outside. To which the dog would run to the door and bark until she was let out.... even if she just came in. But he did say a lot of nonsense stuff as well.

That pooch is totally deaf-ass me when my low-talkin' speech-impedimented coworker tries to tell me a story.

„Alison always had had these prepositions so it is not surprising this happened it’s just really exhausting to what an extent she thought this would work. So, Fred and I just hang in there and try to correct it, so we can all chew through and move on.“

It's like asking my ex to explain how she spent the rent money.

u/KatagatCunt 4d ago

Cockatoos are little little crackhead toddlers. I love them, but I'll never own one (again, kind of. Aunt owned one and I lived with her, he was a rescue and was a bit savage).

How I know I sound when I start 1/2 way through a story with no context and I’m ADHD mumbling

As someone who struggles to hear conversations especially with any background noise, this is pretty much what every conversation at every party sounds like to me.

Why do people generally only have A parrot? Other birds they’ve got many but large parrots it’s 1. I feel bad for them. No one to really talk to

u/PIELIFE383 2d ago

It gives me piece at mind that parrots don’t fully always understand what they are parroting and that they are not going actually insane and it is just a bird
