Fire, Fire, Fire, woo woo woo!

As many of you know, I have been teaching Nilah to say, "FIRE FIRE FIRE, WOO WOO WOO!" My nephew is a firefighter and I wanted her to say it when he came over for the holidays. Of course she didn't dissapoint me and says it ALL the time!!

Well, now Rikki is yelling, "FIRE!! WOO!" No matter how many times she hears fire fire fire, (we always do it in threes) she will only say it once! I find it interesting. An Amazon says it 3 times, a grey refuses to say it more than once! It really makes me wonder what goes on in that little brain of theirs....:S

:laugh: Ha ha ha...So cute, Salsa just starting to say "Step-up", as soon as I start hand feeding a baby I say step-up, her brother is talking well.[?] It's nice to have a grey and amazon to compare. Some things I've noticed are: a grey thinks before doing, a amazon doe's, A grey never rushes, a amazon is 1st in line, most of a greys time is spent observing, most of a amazon's time is spent playing. Amazons reacts before thinking...

Since Rikki is established and Nilah is new, doe's Rikki feel she doesn't have to? :huh:

From where I sit, it seems that Rikki is the smart one and knows she has already said "Fire!", so no need to repeat. I knew a macaw who would say a word once and not repeat even though the humans did. Ex. when answering the phone the owners said "B and B Pet Shop" while what's his name answered with "B and (pause) Pet Shop." It's not all mimicking.
