Julia

I'm speechless! What a *****!!! I'm praying for you and Oliver!

Ha-ha-ha! When Sylia wants to sleep and we are still watching tv, she says '' Good night''. She repeats it for 15-20 min, untill she understands that we are not going to do anything. Then she says ''We are going to sleep!'' another 10-15 min of repeating. And when that doesn't work she starts to snore!!! My hubby thought it would be funny to teach her to snore though nobody snores in the household.... He does not think so anymore! Not when he is watching his football game and can not hear a thing! :D Sometimes she snores so loud that we have to switch off the tv and actually go to sleep LOL (because she can awake our son with all that noise).

I did try to say ''no'' once. And she didn't drink the water but repeated the sound and said ''Fresh water''. I did not press further ;D

I remember one time Sylia's talking embarrassed me a little. We had a guest. He was going to take an offered cookie when my smartie Sylia said ''Did you wash your hands?'' . A guest was surprised but answered a simple ''Yes''. Sylia ask again ''Are you sure?''. I saw that our guest was now embarrassed, so I answered for him "Yes, hi's sure''. But Sylia wasn't done yet. She gave him a I'm-whatching-you look and said ''Show me!'' Of course we all laughed at that! I can assume she picked that from the conversations with my 3y.o. son. ;D She ALWAYS knows what she says.

Sylia does that too. But it's a running spring's sound (I have water dispenser). She does that sound every time I make coffee or tea, or simply fill a glass of water. But when I give the water to her she ALWAYS ask ''Is it fresh?'', I answer ''Yes, it's fresh!'', and she always ask again '' Fresh fresh??''. It's very cute, I think. My hubby sometimes comments ''What? She do not trust us to give her clean water?'' Of course he is joking

New & cool!

A laugh attack!Soooooo true! Thanks for sharing! Some people still think that a parrot doesn't need anything except for seeds and a cage. That would be very educating reading for them!

That was close! Thanks God you had a happy end! I would have a panic attack!

My baby always amazes me with her intelligence and her perfectly logical conversations. The last I heard was 2 days ago between Sylia and my husband Chris. I'm translating from greek. Sylia: Baby, where are you? (Baby=my hubby) Chris: Here. S: In the kitchen? C: Yes. S: what are you doing there? C: I'm cooking. S: Bring me some tasty things! (tasty things = treats) C: What tasty things? S: Watermelon!!! C: We have no watermelon! It's winter! S: Ugh! You are a worm! (worm= like you say ''pig'') C: And you are a little doll! S: I know!!! (plus the sound of a kiss) C: We have an apple though. S: Give me! C: You must say something. (meaning the magic word) S: Pleeease! And she gets her apple. This was very long dialogue! It's like he was talking to me instead of Sylia! Waw! Greys are so clever!!! She really makes her own sentences.

Those irresponsible vets...grrrrrrrrrrrr... I want to..BITE them! Sending you all my positive energy! Thinking about you! Get well soon.

Your joy and anticipation are practically radiating from your post! Well..now it's our joy too! Thank you for sharing! :)

The world is a better place because of the people like you! Thanks God that Oliver is with you now! Wish you all the best.

Thank you so much for welcoming me here! I like here very much!

Hello. My name is Julia and I'm a proud owner of a beautiful CAG girl - Sylia. She is 5 years old and we are together since she was 2 months old. Me & my hubby Chris love her very much. Also we have our little miracle - our son Alex. He is 3 in a week. He loves Sylia too, but I don't let him to pet her just yet. Our little family moved here from Cyprus, but we will not stay here for long. We are planing to move again in 2-3 months, this time to UK. I just wanted to say that you have so much usefull information here!!! I LOVE to read your forum, so I've finally decided to join your big family.
