Elvenking Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 So Issac has really been expanding his variety of noises which I find super endearing. I will tell you about two of the funnier ones. The first is a little bomb dropping sound...you know..."PEEEEEeeeeeeewwwwww..splat". He has taken to doing this one a lot lately. Love it. This next one is a bit funny. I had Issac on my shoulder and I was walking around. I had my morning cup of water which I sometimes drink more quickly than other things. So I am drinking away and I hear this new sound from Issac and I am wondering....what is that? I think for a second and start drinking again and realize....it's the sound of me swallowing! LMAO. It is PERFECT. Because when I took my next sip...I heard the identical sound, put two and two together and nearly blew water out of my nose at how perfect it was. Now he does that a lot. It's so freaky to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, they pay much more attention to all sights and sounds than one may suspect....... Anyone want to take bets on what the next sound will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara2 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 At least that way if some embarassing sound comes out you can blame it on the bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray P Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 The sound you don`t want is theirs at hand. My dad would say that all the time. He ment that for the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Ha Ha Ha! Yip - they pick everything up - one of Harvey's favourites is "aaatcchoooo" and I have to say "bless you" following it - he waits for me to say it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I had a bright orange plastic cup that fascinated Phenix. I used that to teach him to drink from a cup so I could get some V8 & fruit juices into him before I could get him to eat a decent diet. After a little while, he started making swallowing sounds whenever he saw me drinking something that interested him. Once he started on some real food, he would make crunching, chewing noises when he wanted to try something I was eating. Of course, I'd give him anything he could have. From then on, he treated both sounds like words & he definitely uses them to communicate his expectations when he wants his share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell Issac 'bless you' after he does his little sneezes. They are just too cute. After a little while, he started making swallowing sounds whenever he saw me drinking something that interested him.

They are just amazing little creatures. The way Issac looked at me after he did the sounds was too cute too. Almost like a stare waiting for a response. LOL...He got one.

judygram Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 They can mimic any sound they like and that includes many that we wish not repeated but hey it goes along with the territory, glad to hear that Issac is normal in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Elevenking, so glad you are enjoying Isaac's newest sounds. My girl does those swallowing sounds, too, along with lip smacks (not the overt kind, just the regular sounds that all humans make when we eat or drink something), and she also does water being poured from a pitcher into a glass and she does the sound of removing the plastic lid from a 32-ounce yogurt container (which sounds just like a human burp, unfortunately!) And birdhouse, I, too, have noticed that if she wants something, she'll use those sounds as words, in order to ask me to share whatever it is I'm having. They are amazing and interesting and we are all so lucky to have these grey sweeties in our lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aly~ Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 It's amazing how fast they pick up sounds and words. I lost one of my tiels Sunday night and Baby Bird is very obviously upset right now and chirps like crazy very loudly, so I'm in there talking to him and saying Awhhhh baby it'll be ok. I don't really know how to console a bird who is missing his friend. Anyway, last night I was in the other room on the computer and I hear Rebel saying...."Awhhhhhh its all right" ...and the little guy actually calmed down. It was sweet!

Janfromboone Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Love this. I think they could make any sound possible if it interested them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
