How about a laugh, (hopefully)

I have a friend who keeps exotic birds as pets.

Instead of keeping them caged, he gives them freedom within his house.

One evening, he had set up a chess board, in anticipation of a friend coming over the next day.

The next morning, he noticed a piece had been moved overnight!

He was totally mystified, until he thought about it for a minute and realized...

Toucan play at that game.

in reply to @scottrl I saw this and it reminded me of two things from my distant past. After college I moved to SF to live with some friends in a house owned by their parents. They had one bedroom dedicated to their birds, which were not kept in cages. I remember being so surprised upon opening the door and having one of them fly directly into my face. The also had a boa constrictor, but I will refrain from that story.

Years ago my partner and I had a Mustache Parakeet which we taught to speak, and his favorite line was, "No wine for you." Later, it became, "I want my wine too."
