A little throwback to Whistler the budgie, who once perfected his cowboy routine. He’d say “Giddyup, horsie,” make his own clip-clop sound effects, then throw in a “Whoa, Nelly!” before galloping off again.
If he’d ever had a horse, we definitely would’ve named it Nelly—though of course, I wouldn’t have let him ride it in the house. And yes, that clip-clop sound? All him. He was quite the performer.
