Writer's Block: Pet talk

Nut?

My animal behavior prof's wife came in with her african grey parrot, and he could talk a little. He said "nut" whenever he wanted something, and it was generally food. He loved nuts, but he used that word for anything that he wanted.

Lita would probably ask for something salty as she seems to want to nom our fingers off if they aren't freshly washed. Since we read that parakeets REALLY REALLY REALLY love salt, it's probably the salt that she's after. She might also ask for millet spray.

I really don't see anything all that sophisticated coming out of our birdbrain, lol.
