my partner asked why I'm not breeding Eris and i told him, she's too smart. she's smart and she's a horrible little criminal (affectionate). I put her into the barn pen - you know, the pen that successfully held birds for 8 years without problems - and that little shit took one (1) look at the mechanism we use to let ourselves out of the pen if we accidentally close the door (since it auto locks), and let herself out until we had to uninstall it. I've been locked into the pen twice since and had to call for help. She took one look at me and said There's a Sucker and she was right. She knows more words than some human toddlers. I gave her the ability to press buttons to speak and she used them to mock me for forgetting to put water in her wet chow the previous day. She taught my second stupidest bird how to press a button to ask for a treat. I can't breed her because I refuse to be outwitted by a 10lb sack of feathers with an attitude and if she had smart children to teach crimes to I might not have a choice.
