In a comedy routine, this bird would definitely be the "straight" man who cracks every body up.
 
I was down on my hands and knees, scrubbing part of the kitchen floor, and in his line of sight.  It was a little too close to dinner time, and he let me know it! 

Harley:  Fix DINNER!!!!!!!
Me--not wanting to be rude and ignore him:  "OK, I'll get right on that!"  And then I stop and realize, I'm reasoning with a BIRD
 
Took a sidetrip into another room and on my way back out to the kitchen I peeked around the corner to tease him.  Just as Phoebe was stepping over onto Harley's cage, and she was bee-bopping up and down for some reason, so I started whistling a new song. They're both bobbing heads, I'm whistling. 
 
And then Harley, in his most convincing "Mom's really LOST it NOW" voice leans way over toward me and says  "WHAT are you DOING?"

I'm so relieved to know that I'm not the only person who does that, GB. However, I sure don't get the responses that you do! lol
 
Harley, you rock!

Too funny.  I get stuff like that from Kocham too.  He asks me all the time are you ok and if I don't answer him he starts his Huh?huh?huh? until I tell him i'm ok, are you.

LOL!  Impatient little guy, isn't he!  That'll teach ya to mess up HIS schedule!  So.....what was for dinner!
That phrase "what are you doing" is heard so many times a day around here...  I always try to answer properly...  And when I ask it - I get the "HUH?" too.

Just like a man.  "FIX DINNER!"  I'm glad also that I'm not the only one trying to reason with a bird. I catch myself doing that alot.  Heck when I give him dinner he doesn't like he barks off every other food he wants and then eventually tosses dinner with the bowl out.
 
But this is one man I will try to accomodate!  I just love him!

I don't get the 'huh'.... I get 'excuse me.... excuse me!... EXCUSE ME PLEASE!
The hard part of that is that it isn't just the greys doing it now.... just as they have learned from big beaks, the big beaks are learning from them!!
