Random Thought #1

I was thinking about birds as pets. My family has a cockatiel named Sonny. I call him Joey or Pete, in honour of our past buggies. Either way, when you go up to his cage, he looks at you and says, "Whatcha Doing" in clear english. He then proceeds to jump on the side of the cage and slides down the vertical bars like a fire man. If you don't do anything, he'll start chirping or whistling "pop goes the weasel". All the while, you're thinking he is doing this for your amusement. This brings about my random thought. What if, perhaps, the birds purpose is not to provide amusement to us, but for us for him. This is evident when you're not doing anything but looking at him, to which he starts doing random things to get us to talk to him like a baby. You know what I mean, that crazy voice you get when you talk to things smaller than you. Once you're doing something amusing to the bird, they stop doing stuff and start watching you.
Does anyone know where I can get a monkey?
