Email from my dad telling me that when he told their parakeet, "Uncle IowaMan's Cubs are in first place," he (the parakeet) said, "Good job!"

I spent nearly three weeks out there with them last month and I know for a fact the bird can't talk. My folks haven't quite picked up on that over the last 10 years though.
