--------------------------------

The Amazon Parrots have incredible vocabularies
including complicated tongue twisters, lengthy nursery rhymes,
realistic animal imitations, children's songs, count, spell.

 

The amazon parrots also ride around on remote-controlled vehicles
chasing the standard poodle.

 

One amazon does a handstand while balancing herself on
the back of the standard poodle.

 

The white Standard Poodle balances multiple items,
staying frozen in place until released.

She also jumps through a hoop that appears too small for her fit through,
without touching the hoop.

 

She dances forward and backward,
and models clothes
(has a wardrobe for nearly every occasion)
 

 

 

Below are photos taken from
Poodle & Parrots performing at show in Phoenix



This pose is held for several minutes while mom walks
around the room, out of my field of vision, then she returns removes the treat off my snout, throws it out on the floor and I spring for it, scattering toys all over the place, surprising onlookers.

Vegas was a PET STAR
on Animal Planet 2003
balancing a dozen stuffed toys while balancing herself ontop an overturned flower pot that was only 10" in circumference.

 This parrot and others ride on back
of standard poodle, talking, singing
& flapping wings as poodle trots around.
(like a cowboy riding a horse)

Scribbles & Crayon
the Torbie felines
yes, even cats can be trained

Image

Scribbles, big boy on left, weighs a hefty 16 pounds
Crayon, the wild colored girl on right, weighs a mere 6 pounds.

Quite a size difference.

 

These kitties, both around a year old, know to go on down/stays when I'm working in the kitchen.


Although not allowed on furniture, they get up on their designated places, such as the tall bristro table, if I pat it twice.
They are trained by cues, not voice commands. 

 Both cats sit up and beg on cute, and Scribbles (the big boy) will do figure 8's around my legs on cue.  We're working on getting him to do figure 8's while I'm walking.
