Hahaha this is amazing. That the parrot meow okay but the hissing he does when one of the cats want to attack him is amzing. He is the purrfect cat! Those cats don't know what to think of him...hilarious:).

Didn't see this video yet so thank for sharing @GoldHazel

@Toa and Ross I had that bird (Umbrella Head Cockatoo), they are extremely comical. Before I got her, I already had a Quaker Parrot. Their cages were fairly close together and the Quaker taught the Cockatoo the words she already knew. I also had a puppy at the time and whenever the puppy did something good, I'd say, "Good Girl!" When the puppy peed on the floor, I'd scream out her name, "WILHELMINA!!!" ... and the Cockatoo would cream out, "GOOD GIRL!" for peeing on the floor! LOL

I. LOVE. This! Back in the 1980s, we had a Blue-Fronted Amazon parrot named George. He also meowed at our Siamese. He wasn't as agressive as this one, but he still bullied the cats, and his bullying took the form of chasing them away from their food dishes whenever he felt like it. Then he would eat a bit before letting them back. He was such a great bird. He loved chocolate chip cookies, and would get on the floor and bite at my bare feet for a mini-cookie every time I baked (which would be about once a week). He also could whistle the "Star Spangled Banner," and loved getting a shower from a spray bottle. The people who owned him after us taught him to pray over his food before meals.
Thanks for the video--it brought back some great memories.

@Cleopatra Beers you are welcome. This video brought back funny memories for me too as I had birds my entire life up until not long before I got my first sphynx. I officially retired from "in-house" birds and will only have chickens in the future. Of course, if it's chilly outside when I get my day old chicks, they will be indoors for a few weeks or so (but not the same as having parrots)! LOL The umbrella head cockatoo (in the video) is the same as the last bird I had. They are the most comical birds and love the entire family unlike most other birds that just take to one family member.
