Thank You, am glad I found this web site.. Am looking forward to learning much more about my grey Bioko.

My sweet little girl, Bioko

We picked our Grey (Bioko) out when she was just a baby being hand feed. We took her home when she was on one feeding per day. She would eat her pellets and veggie but the breeder still wanted us to feed her once a day for about two or three more weeks. She is now 10 1/2 months old she is such a great bird. She loves us both dearly right now. She will let me but her on her back and lay there while I pet her belly. She hasn't spoken a word yet, but she sure can whistle like a sailor. She woof whistle and makes all the sounds of the microwave and any type of whistle that I do she will copy in a couple of days, she also makes the sound of my alarm clock as well. I work with her daily to get her to talk but she hasn't spoken or tried to say any words as of yet. Question I have is how long before she will try and start talking, I've read different articles that say most don't start talking until 1 or 2 years old. Any information on this would be great if anyone can share. I'm hoping that the whistling isn't her way of talking even though it is very cute and loud at times I still want to try and get her to talk. Any sugguests?
