Today marks the 5th anniversary of when Bonehead passed away. Bonehead was a childhood pet bird our family had, and we enjoyed him for 15 years. He had such a fun personality and we just adored him when we were kids.
Bonehead could:
Mimic laughing (see beginning of the video)
"Talk" with himself (0:20)
Wolf whistle (0:47)
Whistle the chorus of the BYU cougar fight song -- yes it is true! (1:16)
He also could whistle the charge song (you know the one they do at baseball games), and "here kitty, kitty, kitty," though he doesn't do it in this video.
Bonehead was a perfect pet. Every time I go back and visit my parents my heart is saddened by not seeing his cage or playground, and hearing his random whistling. We will forever miss Bonehead.

My grandpa raised pigeons and parrots. We always had a bird. I'm impressed your cockatil could talk so well! We had an amazing parrot that often got us in trouble. She would tell people to come in when the doorbell rang or make so much noise people thought we were hiding a crazy aunt or something. Birds can be fun!
