Joolesgreyuk Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 ...if I hear Beau say "dance Beau" one more time :evil: Just got back for a lunch break and it's all I've heard for the past hour, it's not so much what he is saying but it's loud and very obviously my voice, it sounds blood-curdling to me GRRR :evil: :evil: :evil:
JillyBeanz Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Ha Ha Ha! We wish for it to happen, prompt them to speak by repeating it a million times a day and when it happens BANG - we get sick of them and tell them to shut up! :woohoo: This is reminiscent of the kids though isn't it!!! We've gone full circle!! Harvey's not saying much in public - I think he's shy like his mammy :blush: and therefore prefers to talk in private!!
Joolesgreyuk Posted December 8, 2009 Author Posted December 8, 2009 It's cringe worthy Jill. Ehem, you? Shy?? {Feel-good-0002006E}
Luvparrots Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I hear you Julie. Ana Grey has decided that all she wants to say right now is "What doing" not the "What are you doing" I recited over and over and she learned beautifully, but "What doing" her shorthand I guess. Driving me bonkers!!! :woohoo: :blink: And l o n g pierce wolf whistles!!!!! :ohmy:
she Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I taught Charlie to say Hello my mate and he never stopped saying it for over a week.I felt like screaming.
JillyBeanz Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I think in parrot's cases that the old saying "be careful what you wish for" really comes into play!!! Saying that - I can't wait until Harvey un-mutes the button and starts saying more than "hello" - and only when HE feels like it!!!
danmcq Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 LOL Julie and others!! Well, don't worry the word(s, sound(s) or a mixture of both will change. I don't know what I was thinking, but we have sirens go by our house. Dayo starting imitating them. I started saying 911!! in response...... Now his favorite thing to do is say "911!!", then wait for me to make the siren sound. Then he reverses it and does the siren and I say "911!!". Well it was pretty cool for a few days. Now it does become trying at times, so I try to change the game by asking him to dance, whistle, go poop........ANYTHING BUT 911!!!!! :pinch: So, I feel ya!!!
Joolesgreyuk Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 :laugh: Janet I can take the wolf whistles, it's the smoke alarm I find too piercing and I'm not sure what Beau is trying to say but he does that when I'm cooking :whistle: That's cool Dan but you are right it does get irritating.
she Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Funny you say that Julie,Charlie does a good smoke alarm aswell lol.
Luvparrots Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Oh the smoke alarm, I know all about the smoke alarms!!!!
judygram Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Learn to live with it is all I can say, you asked for it and you got it, you have to take the bad along with the good. Jill shy, she doesn't have a shy bone in her body.
Greywings Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Pookie likes to do smoke alrm, video game sounds and a piercing whistle-eek. My foster Molluccan Too does a convincing power drill and presses his beak to any surface to do the sound.
