00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: talk about footy like he should be doing, but actually

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: he wants to get in. He wants in on the

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: This is where we talk about it. And we're still

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: getting emails and calls from yesterday's show. And there's two

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: things you're still talking about. One thee was the thing

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: yesterday about escaped pets and escaping pets. After my this

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: puppy pool I've got just decided to walk himself home

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: from a dog walk we just started. It was too

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: cold whatever this first one from Jan Thomas Runaway Cockatoo.

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: One of our family pets was a sulfur crested cockatoo

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: named Palm. All right, yellow crest Uh. Sulfur's gray, though,

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah? So yellow? Is it sulfur? I thought

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: sulfur was yellow? No, no, sulfuros were you? It's like

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: a gray color, isn't it? So? For the producer brown,

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: He's got lots of say in sulfur. He was desperate

26
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: to get on the mic. He's just grabbed the mic.

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: Producer ban sulfur? Is the yellow? The yellow cristed? Is it? Really?

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Who knew? We knew so much about the color of

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: cockatoos too, perhaps, Why are you weighing in on the

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: whole sulfur crested cockatail?

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: I think they are yellow because we used to have

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: one as kids.

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Cockatoo. Yes, what's his name?

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 2: His name was Cocky?

35
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: Oh my, come up with that one. Cocky the cocktail.

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: He used to sit on the fence and pick the

37
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: hairs out of my dad's arm, one by one. He

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: was a beautiful bird. Wait, your dad would put his

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: arm up over his head to invite the bird in,

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: or no, we'd let him out. Of the cage.

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: What your dad, cocky?

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: We'd let him out every afternoon.

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: He never had a happy hour. It's three o'clock, it's

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: time for cocky getting daddy's armpit.

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: No.

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: Dad would sit on the fence and just put his

47
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: lean his arm on the fence, and Cocky'd get on his.

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: Talks to the isn't he letting the cocky is his

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: arm hair? And he used to confuse Netflix, let's not judge,

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: because they didn't have Netflix. That's not what we uhould

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: do for entertainment younger listeners.

52
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: But he used to copy my mum's voice because if

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: Dad got a phone call in he was like we

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: were on a property. So Mum would stick ahead out

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: the back door and say hey phone, and the cocky

56
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: would say.

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: Right fine, just like. This email concerns a talking cockatoo.

58
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: And at first, when I was reading a patsy, I

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: thought they don't really talk today, this one does. Let's

60
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: read on that. I didn't know you had about pet crockatoo.

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: That's great, all right, So this one's called Pommy's the

62
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: old sulfur crested cockatoo named pom. We lived in Mornington

63
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: and when my brother and I went out to the

64
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: horses or bikes. Pom that's the crockatoo. Okay, the sulfur

65
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: crested cockatoo and dog Jackie would come with us. What

66
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: a scene that is, you know, brother and sister, the

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: dog Jackie and then obviously Palm, the sulfur crested cockatoo,

68
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: all moving as one unit. One day We're bouncing down

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: towards the beach with Palm on my handlebars. Awesome, that's

70
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: such a cool visual. It is wings out enjoying the wind.

71
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: He'd never flown, but a flock of seagulls flew overhead

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: and he took off, following them out to sea. Something

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: sad about this, isn't there? Want to be with the

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: bigger kids. We watched horrified as he suddenly spiraled round

75
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: and round and down into the sea. Poor old Pommy.

76
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: We raced to the fisherman's beach boat shed begged the

77
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: loan of a rowing boat, and out we went. When

78
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: we got to all this feather looked like little pimpricks.

79
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: That was Sodom with seawaters. He saw us coming and

80
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: all we heard was what are you doing? What are

81
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: you doing? One of the two phrases he spoke. He

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: repeated this and til he maugs to fish him out.

83
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: He never flew again, and we all know why. There's

84
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: some Jan Thomas, what a story. Amazing And yet when

85
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: I read this last night, Pats and they don't talk,

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: did they? But obviously he did say what are you doing?

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: What are you doing? So they came to rescue him

88
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: with their little fisherman's boat they got hold of. That's great, Jan,

89
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: I love that story. I think there's more to talk

90
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: about with talking parrots and cockatoos. If anyone has ever

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: had one of these talking animals, please give us a call.

92
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: So what was the stop phrase for your one? Cocky? Yeah?

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: Oh, he used to swear as well, but he used

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: to say ray fine. Whatever my mom said, he copied.

95
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: What do you mean? He was to swear as well well.

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: He'd follow my dad outside as he was doing his jobs.

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: And if he was cracking it because the moa wouldn't start,

98
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: you got to be careful what you said around him

99
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: because he'd repeat everything.

100
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: No, obviously we're on the radio right now. But how

101
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: bad would Corky get with.

102
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: The pretty bad?

103
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: What like f bombs?

104
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: Yes?

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: From a cockatoo. What's funny? Yes, remember, but you said

106
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Brat in his early days here said he had the

107
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: number of the Melbourne swearing parrot. Maybe we need that

108
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: tomorrow for the second year of the show. We let

109
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: you go if you did have a talking cockatoo. Christian,

110
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: my dog escate for stop that pet stories. As a

111
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: new mum, living off minimal sleep and working like a robot,

112
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: we had an electrician working at our home doing some

113
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: work and he left the side gate open, and we

114
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: lived in near very busy main road. Whilst I was

115
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: breastfeeding my daughter, I saw a small, little black toy

116
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: poodle that we had wandering out of the house towards

117
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: the main road. Without thinking, I quickly put my daughter

118
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: down and ran out towards the main road to grab

119
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: the dog and bring him inside. Upon holding my dog,

120
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: I noticed that I'd run out with my top off

121
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: and my breasts exposed to the entire street as well.

122
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: Though they had two sets of puppies, but I did

123
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: manage to get them back. That's amazing story, Sarah. All right,

124
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: so let's take some calls then on still trending. So

Speaker 1: take some more calls and stories because you're still talking

134
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: about what we were talking about yesterday on five topic Tuesday.

135
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,880

00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: the end of yesterday's show. But the big thing we've

139
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: slipped into now is originally talking about escaped pets and

140
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: then with this amazing story from jan Jan Thomas who

141
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: gave us this beautiful story. Jack just said to me

142
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: during the song there it was like a scene from

143
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: a children's book or a traumatization.

144
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: Characters from Maturing story riding with the cockatoo on the

145
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: front handlebars.

146
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: But I didn't know that cockatoo spoke. Patsy had a

147
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: pet one again, after working with her almost two years,

148
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: we've never heard about Cocky. Let's do a phone in

149
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: one day about rubbish names and pets that you had

150
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: as well. Cocky the cuckatoo who would swear as well,

151
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: but spoke just like Palm, the one who actually said

152
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: what are you doing when they let him fly away

153
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: with seagulls and he fell to the sea. All right,

154
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: so let's go the lines nine four one four one

155
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: o four three Jack impacking him. Good morning, Hey, young Christian,

156
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm good Jack. What can you tell us? Then? You

157
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: have you had a cockatoo that spoke?

158
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: I had one myself, was cold Billy. But many years

159
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 4: ago the Jannawa Hotel had a sub crested cockatoo. It

160
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: was out the back near the men's journal, and it

161
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: could bout, it could, but it could mimic the sound

162
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: of pay on the tin wall, and man could it

163
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: way like a trooper?

164
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Really? Was it part of the hotel attraction, like a

165
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: sort of residence lounge singer?

166
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: Uh No, it was just the hotel owner's pet.

167
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: What an amazing traction to go to Lemna Ryan and

168
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: then see a parent that tom mimits all those sounds. Jack,

169
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: thank you very much. You call sorry, mate, you've got

170
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: another thing.

171
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a bit like the Gipsy Point Hotel, only

172
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: just down the road near Malacoda. They had a pet

173
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: kangaroo for many years and it used to come in

174
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: to the bar. It would drink beer. Yeah, it was

175
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: really famous.

176
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Really what like a rival to the cockatoo down the road. Yep, Okay,

177
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to ask you. I don't think we

178
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: need to. I think when you say it came in

179
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: and track beer. All right, Jack, thank you very much.

180

Speaker 3: Yes, it was an Amazon. It was a yellow headed

184
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,480

00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, there's no way I'm going to do

Speaker 3: R two D two.

190
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,520

00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: your R two D two ring tone.
