It would dive bomb the husband and bite his hand (yes, the feeding one). The wife could scratch its belly, play with it, pet it, etc. (prolly lesbian bird).
Ed, is turning eight soon, and I am scared. I know that If, and when he goes the best part of me will go with him. Originally Posted by BeckyAnd we' will mourn with you and for him.

Though she exhibited some of the traits that Tiff's cat does, she was very sweet and would come running up and say hello when I came home each day. It was like she mouthed "hello" to me. I haven't had the heart to bring home another cat, yet. It is a tough act to follow.
