I have to admit, tactically, these pirates are very clever and ferocious.
However, I'd respect them more if they showed up wearing tri-corner hats, skull-and-crossbones gear, and parrots that say "Pieces of decimal coinage! Arr-arr! Polly want an organic cracker!"
Our brilliant Conure (a South American parrot) yells her name ("KIMMY!") while she's in the cage.
We let her out when we wake up and she flies around the house, hangs out with us, snacks at her feeding station, and snoozes on our shoulders until we put her away late at night. She doesn't yell her name while out of the cage, though.
No...when she accidentally escaped from our house and flew onto a tree in the nearby park, she was terrified, screaming "KIMMY!" and "BAD BIRD!" from the tree top. When she tried to fly down, she was frightened by cars and bigger birds.
I pushed her cage into the park past baffled motorists, but she didn't fly into it.
She spent the night in the park.
Next day, my wife went back out with the cage. She phoned me and told me to bring a bowl of Kimmy's favorite food -- my oatmeal -- to her. My wife walked around the park, holding it up. Finally, Kimmy swooped down, landed on my wife, and started eating the cereal.
She slapped bowl and bird into her cage and took them home.
When Kimmy returned home, she sat in her cage the rest of the day, exhausted, saying over and over and over again, "BAD BIRD. BAD BIRD. BAD BIRD. BAD BIRD."

I think that would entertain a lot of us

She yells: "WATCHEE!" and "BAD BIRD!" instead.
Kimmy sounds like she's ready for a life on the high seas

She prefers the indoor life now.
