A 5-year-old female mynah bird kept by a woman surnamed Wu in Beijing only "talks" with her husband and doesn't greet her with good manners.

The bird usually starts dancing and singing whenever her husband shows up. It greets the man by saying "How are you? Please sit down" and the like, Wu said, complaining that although she tries to please the bird, she sometimes gets frustrated.

Like a human being, the bird is interested only in the opposite sex, a pet expert said, adding that the hostess might have offended the bird some time without knowing it, and the bird has harbored bitter resentment ever since.
