[Nathan is standing with his arms outstretched, his right arm with five ravens perched on it, and four crows on his left. His left shoulder is occupied by a blue and gold macaw. Despite being covered in a fair amount of bird poo (his navy hoodie may not have been his best choice today), he looks pretty pleased.]

Hey, Captain Birdseye. Say cunt.

[The macaw, Captain Birdseye, just whistles at him, much to Nathan's disappointment.]

No, cunt. C'mon, man. Say it with me. Cunt!

[This time he gets a screech and a click. Which still doesn't impress him. He frowns, starting to get a bit irritated.]

Cunt.

[Click. Nathan glares at him, sulkily.] Fine. Don't say it. [Side eye, then he mutters under his breath.] Twat.

[Screeeeeeeeeeeech.] Wanker. [Click, click, click. And then he's cleaning his feathers.]

What the fuck?! Where'd you get wanker from? I gave up on teaching you that one ages ago.

[Birdseye ignores him in favour of cleaning. Nathan pouts, arms drooping a little.] How long is this going to last for? My arms hurt.

[If you want action, Nathan is around the city, charging at random people with his bird flock.]

You taught him how to use it during a conversation?

audio ][

[designedtoparty]

I taught him how to use it. That's pretty much the same thing.

audio ][

[adamantined]

The fact that he can learn something like that at all implies that he's smart.

audio ][

[designedtoparty]

He's a parrot. He's supposed to copy what I say to him.

audio ][

[adamantined]

You aren't having very much luck with the other word.

audio ][

[designedtoparty]

Cunt? He'll get it eventually.

Won't you? [No response.]

audio ][

[adamantined]

[Claire laughs.]

I guess he just likes wanker.

audio ][

[designedtoparty]

Okay. So, say wanker.

[Still nothing. Nathan snorts and it sounds like he may have kicked something.]

audio ][

[adamantined]

Why don't you just go back to insulting it? That seemed to work last time.

audio ][

[designedtoparty]

Cunt. Wanker.

...he still won't say what I want him to.

audio ][

[adamantined]

He said what I want him to, so I think it's okay.

audio ][

[designedtoparty]

You're not the one who's stuck with him.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Yeah, so? Does that mean I can't enjoy the show?

audio ][

[designedtoparty]

No, it means it's more important that I enjoy it.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Good luck with that.
