Zookeeping 101

Our trip to Taiwan was primarily to visit my family. I'm the oldest son of the oldest son, so when my folks heard that I'd gotten married, they were all anxious to meet our new "Kate Middleton", so to speak, haha.

On our second day in Taiwan, my uncle took us to visit a friend of his who owns half a small town. She lives on a gated property with a menagerie of various birds and small animals. In addition to those in the video, she also has a Japanese crested rooster and his hens, a couple of ducks that live on her koi pond, and two large parrots, a blue one and a white one. The white one can say "Hello," and "How are you?" while the blue one says, "Good morning," and "Good night,"... in Japanese. I tried to get a video of them but wound up with just 5 minutes of them eating crackers. (And of course, as soon as I put the camera away, they both started yakking up a storm. Figures.)
