About 10 or more years ago. When Mikey and Karen got married and started living together. Albert really loves being with Mikey. He loves him very, very, very, very much. So much that he doesn't want him to leave the house. When Mikey leaves for work, first he put on his work uniform, before he leaves he put Albert in his cage. Albert always sees him putting on that uniform and shoes and stuff he needs to take to go to work everyday. So, he has a plan…. smart little bird… When Mikey returns home from work, he hang his uniform up. When he's not looking, he goes and destroys the uniform by ripping it up! Same thing goes for his shoes, his work bag(it's more disgusting because Albert use it as a toilet), his headset, even his jacket! When Mikey returns to work the next day, the workers are like; "Dude, what happened to you? Gotten into a fight?" and Mikey says; "No it's my bird, he doesn't want me to come to work."
From that day forward, Mikey does his best to put away his uniform. Somewhere he can't get into. Sometimes Albert gets so sneaky and smart, he knows how to get into tin cans where the goodie snacks are. Not even going to lie, he even knows what's Haagen-Dazs is! His number one favorite ice cream.
