charliesmom Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Um, hi everyone! I'm a new member of this community. I have a 2 year old TAG named Charlie. My avatar is actually a picture of Charlie as a baby. I think he was about 9 months old at the time. I miss those big black eyes, even if the yellow ones are pretty. I'm so glad I found this community. There's plenty out there for cockatiels, but not so much for grey owners. I'll try to post one of my favorite closeups of Charlie right after I brought him home...I sure do miss those baby days sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliesmom Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi thanks for welcoming me everyone! The question, though, shouldn't be "does Charlie talk?" it should be "does he ever shut up?" He started talking about a week after I brought him home. He's learned to imitate my voice and my Dad's voice. he whistles "Pop goes the weasel," "Andy Griffith," and "Bridge on the River Kwai." Sadly, he talks better than he whistles. Of course that could be because my Mom (who is tone-deaf) whistles to him a lot. He laughs really loud, screams of course, makes coughing noises, nose blowing sounds (lucky for me he only uses it on occasion), and he does the most spot on door creaking noise. He also says, "I love you," "I'm sorry," "Hi Baby," "Step Up Up Up," "Come here," "Gimme Kiss *mwah*" "Charlie!" "Good Boy," and my name, "Kaleigh" (Kay-lee). He always surprises me with what he'll come up with. For example, one morning, I slept late and didn't uncover him fast enough. I actually heard him make a sound like a muffled door knock and then he said in my Dad's voice, "Kaleigh, Kaleigh!" Then he knocked again and said, "Kaleigh Get Your A.. UP!" I thought I was gonna die laughing. He's never cussed since, but I guess he meant business that morning. Sorry for the long post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tycos_mom Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Sounds like Charlie is quite the little booger when he wants to be. Do you think he might have learned how to get you up from your dad after all he did say it in your dads voice. he must have been eves dropping I had a really good laugh though thanks for sharing that with us and welcome to the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
