Chuckles

Perhaps I should have been a little clearer on this. I have no objection to nice whistling and I dont care if Bozo never talks but this is ear-piercing. Bozo whistled so loudly one day recently that my ear was sore and ringing and I could not hear properly for several days. One of my daughters will not bring her children to my house now in case her baby suffers ear problems. My neighbours who have been highly amuzed by Chuckles chatter and other antics are now complaining. Some of you will know me from other forums and know that I dont give up easily with problems but this is one that has me stumped and I need to find a solution.

I voted for Chuckles in the talk poll but cant vote for 2 birds. My younger baby, Bozo, is 14 months old, has been with me since the age of 10 months. Bozo laughs, quacks, blows raspberries, tuts and makes lots of noises as if he is trying to speak. I am sure I heard a "hello" and a swear word on another occasion :blush: The man who had Bozo before me unfortunately thought it would be a good idea to teach Bozo lots of different whistles instead of chatting. Chuckles is a real chatterbox and picks up things very quickly so she is now copying the whistles. Now I am subjected to very loud sessions of the 2 birds whistling to each other several times a day and this does not stop until I cover one of them up. Bozo adores my daughter and we are thinking about letting Bozo go to my daughters house for a couple of weeks to see if that will break the whistling habit a bit and encourage more vocal noises. The only problem is that I will miss Bozo terribly. He is such a cuddly bird and we spend hours cuddling and playing with toys every day. If anyone has any other advice they can give me I would be very grateful.

I have to agree with Tari. I would not take on any bird or animal without knowing the facts of basic care.

He is lovely. When will you be bringing him home?

Hi all. I am the proud servant to my 2 cheeky CAGs, Chuckles and Bozo. I was told Chuckles was 8-years-old when she came to live with me early this year. She is ringed but I cant get close enough to look at it properly (some of you will have read about her on other forums but she is not too friendly due to her past). Bozo is 14-months-old and has been living with us for 4 months. Chuckles, Bozo and I live in Bonnie Scotland and share our home with 4 retired greyhounds and 8 rescued cats.
