Well ... Im not exactly sure when she says "Marco" its a really deep voice ..my kids says shes possessed when she says it *laffs* but when shes saying Whatcha doing or are ya hungry its a totally different voice ... I will try to catch the changes and show ya... I remember watching that one vid of dayo and I totallllllllly thought it was you hahahahah... I had to watch it like 4 times ... :rolleyes: before I caught on! I dont think her voice sounds like "anyones" perhaps mine is the closest since I talk to her the most! I swore she said clear as a bell "wake up F***er* the other day ... :eek: and I almost fell off the couch and course I played like I didnt even hear it and didnt acknowledge it ... I sure hope I heard wrong!!!!! Its probably a good thing my sons are moving out of the house before they completely trash her vocabulary!

awww sassy ... Im just so sorry to hear all this I hope something really starts to atleast feel like its going well for you and Neytiri soon .. you need some good news soon!

when I think about it ... shes actually formed an entire sentence now. It seems like she'll stick with something for like a week solid over and over 100 times a day then as fast as it shows up, she'll stop using it and go onto the next thing. Right now its What you doing and Are you hungry. She has stopped saying hello and peek a boo but shes definately practicing her name now which is really fun to listen too. And the different voices shes using is just mind boggling.

oh man that vid was just incredible!!!!!!!!!! how much fun was that?!?!

she actually added "girl" to that phrase last nite ... so when I got home she asked me are you hungry girl? I think becuz Im always asking her before dinner time, if she is that she just threw it all together. simply amazing if you ask me

I definately think all greys are different I am definately Marcos perferred choice for companion but she does tolerate hubby and he doesnt give up and he talks to her and feeds her and carries her from perches round the house n stuff he puts her to bed at nite and gets her breakfast every morning but didnt hesitate to nip him pretty good the other nite as well. she hasnt nipped at me since bringing her home <knocks on wood> so I think they will accept others as long as the other person is patient and works with them as well :D she however does NOT like my adult sons lol

thanks for explaining that cuz everyone does say its their way of showing "love & affection" so I was like hey whats the deal im feeling left out lol Not that I would be thrilled to get that but yes she does show me affection lots of other ways like chewing holes in my curtains and pooping down the backside of my couch!!!!!!!!! lol

awww .. wow .. bless that poor little lady we are headed down next weekend with a truck full of donations to Moore Ok I am sure .... its going to be a life changing experience for me...

omg i just love your lil frodo!!!!!!!!! i want a baby like that!!!!

oooooooo goodness ... please update us! I hope they can help ease your baby's discomfort

So many people talk about the regurge thing, is it bad Ive never seen Marco do this? I mean shes only lil over a year old but shes never even attempted that Ive seen... ?

my heart goes out to you ty for caring so deeply for your FID ... i hope you get good news soon!

thats awesome specially when its just so BAM outta the blue ... very cool! Marco is in the same stage so I can relate to your happiness!

I had my neighbor make marcos and its made from pecan wood and its truly amazing and little by little we've added cool things to it, rope ladders and toys some seriously cool ones made w/pvc too ... check out the pics here thats where we got our ideas! very crafty ppl here

wow ... i miss them biggggg dark eyes ... very nice

those are some of the funniest picssssssss ... the cabinet one and the skeetchers box one ... made me giggle and smile at work ... good luck ya'll great pics!!!!!!!!

Marco sits like that lots, mostly at nite. I find Marco is the MOST cuddly .. wanting to be handled and scratched at night is that the same for everyone else?

pretty pretty welcome

LOL well ... poor baby has been on video since she was 6weeks old so I think shes pretty relaxed on it however I say but if I get TOO close to her with the cam, she'll crawl down from her high perch and wanna eat it in my hands and not talk as much so when I sit back on the couch "near her" she just rambles on! Its pretty funny she had me just giggling. It is truly amazing at all the progress shes made. Every day seems shes doing something new, into something new, discovering something new. I like it. So she has mastered peekaboo, are you hungry?, hello, whatcha doing? and want some dinner lol ... obviously all the things I have said to her now for the year we've had her and its just a joy to see that they have stuck in her lil brain and shes now saying them back ... I truly expect to hear "get in your box" which we say to the dogs ALLLLL the time very soon too HAHAHAHAHAH :D Gosh just love that dang bird!

aww thats funny .... she talks more when I play it in the house too .. I can see her listening

100% 100% It just truly amazes me ... that out of the blue ... something new comes outta her lil beak! this is her latest! I hope you can hear it ... shes been saying it ALLLL day!!

did you get your birds to begin breeding them? or where they just pets m/f? cuz im sorta confused. I wouldnt want to go into breeding these precious babies w/out FULL knowledge of what I was doing thats for sure

LOL the towel over the hooks is a GREAT idea that would surely discourage her!!! thanks .... and yes they are total stinkers ... the older she gets the braver shes getting and into more things ... she is still working on her words too .. her latest is "Whatcha doing"? over n over again ... its the Best ... love hearing it and her hello!

Soooo heres a lil funny for ya'll .... I take Marco in the shower, I have since she was a lil baby when I first brought her home, shes totally ok with water and enjoys her baths. So shes cruising round on the shower rod while Im getting my portion of the shower out of the way. Ive caught her and can see the "evidence" of her uhm.... "Trimming" my shower curtain with lil missing chunks out of it however this time .... I open my eyes and she had phyiscally taken about 7 of the hooks holding the shower curtain up off the rod so when I opened my eyes .... :eek: :eek: :eek: half the shower curtain was laying open and she was standing there so proud of her lil handy work!!!!! :rolleyes:

Theres alot of things I could say as well but I think the way you said that these birds are wild animals and not a dog or cat. They arent cuddly (persay) lil creatures. Marco does things at HER pace when SHE wants lol and I live with that and take her lead. If she wants to come over and join me on the couch she does, if she doesnt I dont make her. For real you cant make them do anything they dont wanna, lol their beaks will definately voice their disproval of something and quick like. Marco is able to be handle by me and hubby however he can not get away with (as he calls it) kisses or anything that I can becuz I am her chosen. but hes able to have a great great relationship with her, carry her, feed her and talk w/her and that makes him happy. my kids who are 19 & 18 no relationship at all and shell definately bite them, but they havent taken the time to even TRY so... thats all i can expect her to do with them. I have had Marco over a year now and its really taken that long to just get used to each other and routines and limitations etc....
