Every dog, cat and yes, even bird, has their own personality quirks. Things they do that are unique to them.
Years ago, Shadow and Luna were part of our family. Shadow, a Labrador mix, came first, and then Luna, a young, up-start, golden retriever pup. They were “besties” from the start.
They had an odd dinner routine.
Their bowls were side by side, something I wouldn't dream of trying with my current “lads,” and half-way through eating they would switch bowls. Same food, same amount in each, no one was greedy – a canine choreographed dinner dance.
We also had a Quaker parrot, who would let himself out of his cage, hop onto a nearby desk, and drop the bills into the trashcan (or floor).
One day we caught him “red-taloned,” and he simply turned, and got back into his cage, disavowing any knowledge of what had happened.
A friend of mine, Amy Reiss, who volunteers at Halifax Humane Society, adopted Sandy, a shi tzu mix, a couple of years ago. Sandy has her own morning ritual.
“When the pool pump comes on in the morning, it bubbles up and makes noise,” Reiss said. “Sandy runs around frantically, barking and whining, like Kraken is going to rise from the depths.”
