I would love to have a bird one day! One that you could teach stuff to! Birds are so cute and smart. :D I taught a magpie to come to the back door of my house and eat out of my hand last year. But my (giant, silly) dog was scared of her so I had to stop doing it or he would get nervous being outside. :( It was sad seeing her out there and having to ignore her. Eventually she stopped visiting. :(
