Pet Bird Learns To Sew (& Is Pretty Good)
<snip>

CUSTOMERS at a tailors in west England have been left in stitches after Baggio, the owner's pet cockatiel, showed he has picked up the knack of sewing by watching his master.

"I have never heard of a bird that can stitch but Baggio has a great sewing action," said Jack Territo, 60, from Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol, the proud owner of nine-year-old bird.

Baggio, who can now pick up a pin and thread it through the material with his beak, will test his skills against other brainy pets on a television talent show next week.

Territo is confident.

"When people see what he can do, I think he will be top billing. I think he must be one of the cleverest pets," he said.

1. The only problem with Baggio's suits:
he tends to leave a hole in the back for tail feathers.

2. Then his first client should be the Commander in Thief
Maybe the reason that jackass looks so goofy when he struts around like a rooster is because he has no place for his tail feathers to go.
