When "Maggie Meets Cookie"?


Naggy Maggie, Australia


Maggie is from Australia, but you will be suprise by her language ability. Apparently, Maggie understands English and Mandarin since young, but not Malay. She has the habit of telling other members of the family off when she is unhappy, yes, and non-stop (what a nag!).



How do you keep her quiet then? "We start using malay to talk back then she will get confuseed and keep quiet," said the owner, "...i have to confess that i spend sometime to get use of her color but apparently vets said she is very unique cause they never see a tortoise shell which has so many ginger color."


Ah Jai (阿仔, English name Cockie) , Hong Kong.

"A spoilt and stubborn brat, but very affectionate when he gets his way. Very curious about new things. A bit sly.", said the owner affectionately.


"Cockatoos are very intelligent animals, possessing the cognitive abilities of 3-year-old human beings (some people say). They even know how to use tools. For example, this one uses a stick to scratch his back..." (from the owner's blog http://singaporeaninhongkong.blogspot.com/)

Of course, like other cockatoos, Ah Jai is very active and can speak a number of languages.


Have you ever wonder what will happen when "Maggie Meets Cookie"?
