Scooter, our cockatiel hates me (though he used to adore me) and now he loves our cat Luna. This is what happens when i hold her up to the cage! He has learned her name and chirps every time i call it, he chirps every time he hears her meow and he will scream if she leaves the room. Our cat couldn't care less about him. He's saying "Hi scooter, whatcha doin scoot .. such a good bird hi scooooterrrr" but not necessarily in that order ;)
