JillyBeanz Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 As you know, Harvey's not fluent yet - but he's a perfect mimic! I just had to share that I have been laughing my head off this morning. He's always done a blackbird (learned it from a radio ad) and for along time has done a duck (quack quack). For the last few nights I've been saying "Harvey, what does a pig do" and then making that "nose/throat oink oink" sound and he's been sort of croaking back. Well, this morning I said "Harvey, what does a pig do" and he did it! Proper "oink oink"! You know how camera shy he is - but I will have to adopt my stealth position to try and film him doing it!!

JungleDreamz Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Awe that is wonderful! How old is harvey? Calypso is almost at 14 months and still just one word "hello" and lots of immitations.

judygram Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Oh please do Jill, I would love to hear that, now what else are you going to get him to say, the sky is the limit you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Awe that is wonderful! How old is harvey Harvey's just turned 16 months old. His "hello" now is absolutely clear as day, his "Yo Harve" is absolutely clear as day and he also says "Michael" (my husband's name). I thought I had the only mute parrot on this forum - but I guess not! Perhaps I shall recite the whole animal repetoire Judy - you just never know!! Now I know he's not mute I shall have to mind my Ps and Qs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I told you Harvey was no dunce! Thanks for sharing this exciting moment with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme575 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Oh Jill, please do adopt the stealth position in order to get this shot of Harvey, it'd be so worth it for us to see, but then I'd like Michael to do the same to get you on video in your stealth mode. Your descriptions of laying on the floor pretending to do other things amuse me to no end, it's only fair that we all get to actually see then lengths you go to!

Yes indeed, you will have to be more careful of what you say from now on for you never know what word or phrase he will pick up, you had it easy before but now that he has made it known he can and will talk don't say what you don't want repeated.
