Reply #24: My parrot was eating a dried hot pepper on my shoulder once...

[hunter]

Then she noticed one of my eyelashes was out of place, so she kindly reached over to fix it...

I jumped up out of my chair screaming, and the parrot went flying.

She has also played a hot pepper trick on our dog. She likes to toss the dog little bits of monkey chow and stuff that are in her food, and our dog loves this. So the dog was eating stuff the parrot tossed down, eating all excitedly as dogs do, and the evil bird tossed down a pepper...

Our dog now carefully examines any food the parrot gives her.
