Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 9/30/02

Theo and Cleo decide that Leona and Lionel are ready to take on some responsibility. They give them a pet parakeet and the book What Parakeets Need by Freeman van Fleet. Leona quickly names the parrot Sweety Tweety. Lionel is disgusted by such a cutesy name, but decides that Tweety Sweety could work. As the two continue the debate, they discover something interesting in the book --- parakeets can learn to talk. Leona begins a spirited quest to teach the parakeet to talk, but discovers that it requires patience and not giving up.moreless

- Busterfield: I don't know why they wanted that parakeet to talk. Birds should not talk. They only give you a headache. Believe me, I know. Birds were meant to go 'tweet, tweet.'
