I know i have told this story before but i think it's worth telling again.
We have had our african Grey parrot about 12 years. When we got Spanky We placed a Puddle pad very near his cage, every time spanky would have to go Potty I would say do you have to go potty? go potty right there good boy. OK lets get a treat. Now the parrot says it word for word. Its so funny. Just recently He has learned to say Hey what are you doing GET out of there.
LOL wounder where he heard that from.

Lol, that is such a cute story, think about how easy it will be to train your next Yorkie.

Aren't those parrots hysterical??? We have a grey, Paco, who is 12 years old also. We had a lab a while back. He would talk to her every day. He'd say "Rajha...come here girl. Gotta go pee?". Rajha would start barking and run to the door. Paco would just keep repeating that over and over again until Rajha would go to his cage. Then Paco would start laughing like a witch (he picked that up from my mom lol).

Rajha died 2 years ago from cancer. I miss her so much!

Awww, that's so cute! One of my Moluccans I had trained to go to the bathroom when I told him to (actually, I just knew when he had to go and I'd take him off my shoulder, hold him over some bushes or somewhere appropriate, and say "go potty"..and he'd lift his tail and go. It was so funny how people would stop if they saw me doing it and just watch in amazement, but Valentino didn't really like strangers WATCHING him go to the bathroom, so sometimes he'd put his tail back down and wait til they left, LOL. And people would say "HOW do you make him do that?"

. Uh....they just go, LOL.

Too bad I didn't have him very long after I got Max....that would have been funny to have him help train him, hehe.
