THROWN OUT BY A BIRD!

African Gray parrots can be very commanding and Buster is no exception.

Whenever we have company, Buster apparently makes an assessment of them and makes a decision about whether or not he likes them. He also assesses how long they stay and has some kind of measurement that determines when they have been here long enough.

The less desirable guests or those who have dared to stay too long in Buster's estimation are treated to the following commands:

"See ya later....gotta go...see ya later...gotta go...and on and on."

Finally the guests will start to feel uncomfortable and says "I guess I better be leaving." I try to tell them not to listen to Buster but they leave anyway.

Then to top it all off, Buster says, "Thank you!" when their first foot crosses the doorway outside!
