Joey performs

Joey, our mascot and resident umbrella cockatoo, frequently brings laughter to our lives. One of our favorite things is when he starts talking about "the puppies."

In his previous home, Joey lived with a dog breeder who frequently had puppies in the house. Even though he hasn't lived with a dog breeder in almost a decade, he will still occasionally talk about the puppies. This is something we've hoped to get on video for a long time!



It's hard to hear on the video, but he's saying "get the puppies" and says that the puppies are "in the chichen (kitchen)" Sometimes he'll call the puppies, or tell us that the puppies want to go outside (though not in this video). It's a bit hard to hear, but he also pants like a dog in between talking about the puppies.
