Step 1. Screech incredibly loudly until the dog runs over.
Step 2. Once the dog reaches you, stare blankly. "Screech? Me? Never!"
Step 3. If the dog persists in watching you and/or whining and pawing at the cage, turn your back to him until the dog leaves.
Step 4. As soon as he reaches the other side of the room, or his attention has been taken elsewhere repeat steps 1-3 as many times as desired.

Step 5. Screech incredibly loudly until the dog runs over.
Step 6. Climb the cage bars closest to the position of the dog. Make sure tail is poking out through bars.
Step 7. When dog jumps up, bite his paws, and watch as he is told off for jumping on the cage by mum.
Step 8. Repeat steps 6-7 as many times as desired- or until the dog gets sick of having his paws bitten.

Step 9. Screech incredibly loudly until the dog runs over.
Step 10. Jump to the cage floor, make sure it's sudden, so the dog is surprised/frightened.
Step 11. Run back and forth along the bottom of the cage, occasionally stopping to squawk and flap at the dog.
Step 12. Continue Step 11 until dog gets excited and begins to bark, watch as he is told of for barking. When mum looks at you, flap up to your perch and begin preening.

Remember: You had nothing to do with any of it. It was all the dogs fault!

Tiki is such a tease! I just had to share this with everyone.
It's hilarious to watch, but I'm still trying to get it to stop.
Don't worry, I'm always VERY careful when Buckley is around Tiki. He's never taken out of the cage when Buckley's in the room.
Tiki has Buckley, my dog, wrapped around his little claw. Every time he yells Buckley will come running to see whats going on.

Cheekys mum
That is really funny lol you have observed it to a T HAHA! It sounds just like what a quaker parrot will do! Youve had me laughing here!
Frankie's Mom
LOL! tongue.gif Frankie calls our dogs to his cage and then begins antics very similar to your Tiki! Poor dogs ... they are confused! wacko.gif
Uncle Zippy
Sounds like Tiki has found a way to keep himself entertained. Qp's are very resourceful.

Reminds me of comedian Steven Wright's bit where he named his dog Stay. C'mere Stay. C'mere Stay. wacko.gif
Sandi Kiwis Mom
LOL @ UZ

That is a funny thing with your dog......and bird

The only thing my dogs do is wait for the food to drop to the floor......
birdbluff

That's WAY FUNNY! and Katie does the exact same thing with Harley but she actually says "come here" come here" until harley comes, and then she goes back to the top of the cage and just stares him down. Then harley sits there.......



Lol! Clever birdy x) Tiki isn't up to talking yet. We've only had him 5 days.

LOL That's too funny....poor dog.

Georgie is good about doing that, only she does it with my daughter instead of the dog.

That is just wonderful! I just love their anticts!! We have 2 one is stressed so he justs gets loving from me but the other one is quite the handful....always getting into trouble and if he catches wind of this I wouldn't doubt this would become one of his favorite things to do. He's always getting into stuff but makes sure you're watching him LOL....he simply loves an audience!

LOL that is too funny! Peanut now screams Gawwad (my cat) all day long but luckily he isn't clear enough for gawwad to know he's being called. Now Nem my cag will yell come here to the cats all day long, once they get to the room nem is in he tells them "get outta here"

I wish I could trust Delilah around the birdie- but she gets this crazy gleam in her eye that I fear not even the amazingly heavy King's cage could keep back. It would probably be a pretty fun game with Mac, though- she's a huge pansy and is terrified of the bird (which is pretty funny all by itself- this dog was described by the behaviourist as 'Steven Segal greeting you with a gun in one hand and a 10" knife in the other'). I guess she can only put on the tough-dog act with other dogs. laugh.gif

Maybe your bird can train your dog to fetch things for her- 'no, the other nut- yeah! that one' wink.gif
