Guest briansmum Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 i finally managed to teach brian something today! red and blue. i had two blocks and once i'd spent about 5 minutes showing him each one seperately saying "what colour.. red!" or "what colour... blue!" when i offered him both at once and asked for the red or the blue one he got it right every time! i couldnt believe it. i mixed them up too, asking for one colour more than once and swapping which way round i was holding them. i was amazed :woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 So am I, way to go Beccy, I knew you could do it, I will have to try this myself. I don't work with Josey enough, not enough time in the day, since I work full time and then spend hours here every day.:lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Wow! Byccy, that is one smart bird!!! Can I hire you for Talon?? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 it wasn't easy, he obviously would rather have been doing something else. but i busted out my secret weapon.. SUNFLOWER SEEDS! i'm going to keep working with blue and red for a while then eventually introduce green, then yellow. he has a birdy abacus, so when he knows colours i'll start with counting too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tari Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 What fun. When I first got Que I wanted to teach her to count. So I bought those flash cards. Unfortanlty she wont talk except for when she thinks Im in anouther room. So it didn't work. Maybe you can try that? And mix up the numbers? We well soon have an Alex in our mist. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 That is great Beccy! You and Dr. pepperberg should compare notes :-) I can't wait to start trying things like this. Thanks for sharing this!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Why wait, Dan, get started now, Dayo is smart, he can learn now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 yes dan get started now, i thought at first that you'd need them to talk for them to learn things, but i thought i'd give it a go anyway and he out did himself. you could even try getting the little basket ball and hoop, that one looks way fun!

danmcq Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Ok, folks , Dayo is officially in training now.....I called home and left a Voice mail " Dayo, Daaayooo, pick up the phone" didn't answer, so I left my call back number. At least he heard my voice :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 haha thats not a bad idea! might confuse him a bit though, he could start thinking that you like to spend all day hiding in a little box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
