Rico & the paper towel roll is absolutely hilarious.

What a smart boy! And him playing with the paper towels is hilarious!!

Lara, that is just too cute. Is there any possibility of your posting the grouper story? Please?????

Glad you guys liked the video. Just warning ya, I'm a biggie on shooting video of my birds.

Joanie, I know I have that story here somewhere. I'll have to search for it again. And you bet, I'll post it in honor of his Aunti Joanie.

Great video, Lara!! How long did it take you to teach him that?

Lara, great video, you have a very smart birdie on your hands.

Not very long at all, Kathie. Rico's my quickest learning bird. In order to teach the other ones at a quicker rate, I have them watch me teach Rico. When they watch Rico, they pick up on it quicker.

Kathie, this was my second session of working on this particular trick with Rico. Each session lasts about 2-3 minutes.

I am amazed!!!! That is fabulous. I sold a moluccan yesterday to a woman (not to worry -she already has cockatoos and knows them very well). Anyway I was telling her about Rico's tricks. We got so wrapped up in conversation that I forgot to give her the website to join. She'll be back in a few days so I'll hopefully remember to give it to her then. I also told her about the video (was it Rico?) "under the door". She was hysterical!

Nope, the under the door was Rocky. Rico was the paper towel roll.
