Boxers of a Feather

Another bird and Boxer story.

"This is a picture of our cockatiel Niko with Peanut Brittle.  We adopted Niko last year when he was 8 years old.  His previous owner must have had dogs as every time he sees the dogs he says "Scooby Dooby Doo."  He also must have been cuddly with them as he always wants to snuggle up to Peanut and Tank, and they have learned to leave him alone until we retrieve him, thus Peanut's look as if to say "get him before he's a toy."  One thing the dogs have taught him is the sound they make when mouth wrestling.  Whenever Niko wants attention he starts saying "Scooby Dooby Doo arrarrarrrarrarrar."  Sometimes he mimics their sound so well we think the dogs are actually playing.  :)"

  3. Niko is a brave little bird for sure. Peanut does give that impression by the look on her face, LOL.
