No matter how much that you educate a Parrot, it's still just a Parrot.

Excellent response. I will have to share that with our three Cane CorsoMastiffs, each about 135 pounds and the direct decendents of the Roman dogs of war At least that is what we tell everybody even though they are huge thy are also gentle which is why they make great therapy dogs for our work with abused boys.


Thank you for your service 🙏.

I just looked up Cane Corso's and what BEAUTIFUL dogs!! And such a wonderful thing you are doing with them and the boys!!

I wonder if you've ever heard of the website "Explore.org"? (It's important to type the .org and not .com...two very different sites). They have webcams all over the world on just about every animal you can imagine.

One of their web cams is monitored by the Warrior Canine Connection (WCC), an accredited member of Assistance Dogs International (ADI). It has several web cams on the dogs they breed to help wounded warriers deal with PTSD and other problems. Here's part of a description of what they do (from their web cam page on Explore): "Warrior Canine Connection helps wounded warriors reconnect with life, their families, their communities, and each other. WCC’s program not only creates valuable service dogs, it harnesses the healing power of the warrior ethos and the human-animal bond. The program is designed to trigger powerful mind/body effects in our warrior trainers that reduce the symptoms of combat trauma."

Here is their webcam page on Explore.org (it's called "Dog Bless You"): https://explore.org/livecams/dog-bless-you/service-puppy-cam

(PS, I am mom to a border collie/poodle mix puppy we rescued a month ago! I Have owned several dogs all my life.)

OH...and I forgot to mention - the WCC dogs are Great Danes....

You're welcome, buddy! It's a great site to appreciate the wonders of our animal planet: Eagles, Elephants, whales, hummingbirds, bears, hippos...so many hundreds or maybe even thousands of cams to watch!

Side story: I got totally hooked on a baby condor in California who recently survived one of the awful fires there. The nest is high up in a redwood tree and the web cam stayed up and focused on the baby condor right up until the fire burned the wires that connected the cam. I could hear the fire burning, crackling below as we (the viewers) watched the whole thing right to the end. For about 2 weeks no one knew what happened to the baby bird, but just a couple of days ago the researchers were able to get to the tree and found the little guy alive, and the mother, too, was back to feeding it. What an amazing thing to be able to see from right here in my living room, 2,000 miles away, (and with a good ending, too.)

Actually, the African Grey Parrot can add and subtract better than most Democrats, has a great sense of humor, better than most leftists. Years ago I had a friend with an African Grey parrot which would wait until the three Great Danes were peacefully sleeping and then, in the owners voice yell "anyone want to go out and then as the three huge dogs dashed to the back door demanding to go out, the bird would rock back and forth on his perch laughing, exhibiting not only intentional activity but a much better sense of humor than any of the "progressives" on OPP ever have, I would even put the naked mole rat above the "progressives" in intelligence as they can manage a colony of up to 30 rats, teach the baby rats how to use one chamber of the colony quarters for defication and keep the rest of the dwelling clean of feces. That makes them better than the street dwellers in major Democrat cities who leave their feces where ever they want to, and then expect others to clean the area.

Your Parrot tale gets you 5 Stars & I'll will take your word about naked mole rats. Have a friend whose Parrot only eats table food & wants some of every food item that's on the table. If he has a 13 course dinner & only gives the bird 12 items this bird will raise holy hell till he/she gets the omitted item, will not accept a duplicate. Does sound like a 'she Dem" to me.
