Luvparrots Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 How exciting. Way to go Timmy!! My amazon speaks Hindi, so I am told. But he is picking up English no problem. I can't wait to hear more about Timmy's vocabulary!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara2 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I was wondering where you were. I was going through "Timmy" withdrawal! I'm sure he's only just begun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammco Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 His language is the same as mine!!! A slow long drawn out southern tounge! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara2 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I just want to mention that it only took 3 weeks (to the day!) that he first moved into your house. Way to go Timmy and Hammco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammco Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 MEMO: All Grey Owners... Due to recent events I will be unavailable to post here for approx 5 minutes. I am out in the street dancing and singing, I am repeating what Timmy said today. For those who havent heard, Timmy is a talker, not just one word but several! I have an extreme amount of excitement and awe going thru my system right now and I just cant bear to sit still. My back hurts cause I just did a backflip while I was playing "Ave Maria" on the piano up on the roof! My vocal chords are also sore because I just hummed the theme from "as the world turns" while bench pressing my truck!!!! I AM EXCITED>>>>>TIMMY CAN TALK!!!!!

hammco Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 ............OK, I am calmed down a tad now, I have gotten my composure back and can speak rationally. I am still excited tho, and cant wait to see what Timmy does next. Perhaps Timmy LOVES his new house and all the attention he gets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammco Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Not to brag (like I am doing now), but Ill add a few more words Ive heard in the last few mins.... 1. What is this 2. Youre a good bird 3. Good bird 4. SHUT UP! (must be from previous owner!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karcar Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 It is exciting, my Sadie started talking the first day we got her but now we are hearing things we can't make out like she is whispering it.She is also calling for Boo, which in a way makes me sad she must have loved Boo or at the very least misses Boo. We also thought we were her 4th home but actually found out we are her 5th and she is only 6 or 7 years old. That puzzles me the most she is a sweetheart so cuddly and lovable and not a picky eater(except for the palm oil) LOL So happy for you and Timmy!!!

Barbara2 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Neo talks but I can't quite understand what he is saying just yet. I'm sure he has said "Paco" and "Hi Rock". Other than that, I hear garbled words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 My goodness anyone might think you got a little excited about Timmy starting to talk, he obviously is beginning to feel a little more comfortable in his new home hence the talking so calm down man before you hyperventilate. Now that the floodgates are open I imagine you will hear lots more words and phrases, hope their are no bad words, congrats as you now have a talking grey.

hammco Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Judy- I seriously think some of the things I hear (but dont understand yet) are bad words...I hope not, but have a pretty good/bad feeling about it! Hey, at least I dont have a mute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusCAG Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 If it makes you feel any better, Marcus has been picking up some colorful language from our wonderful neighbors (sarcasm). He can hear them even with the windows closed. But I've ignored it for the most part and, after he blathers away for a bit after its initial 'discovery' he seems to find them not nearly as interesting since he hasn't pulled a reaction out of me with these new sounds of his. So maybe if you don't acknowledge the bad words, too, Timmy will give them up in your presence?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I was outside last night and thought I was hearing things... it must have been you, I am pretty sure I could hear your excitement from South Carolina to Georgia. Timmy is comfortable with you and it won't be long before he is repeating what he hears from you and believe it or not it will be as exciting and endearing every time he says something you hadn't heard before. I am so happy that you are enjoying Timmy so much. It sounds like you are perfect together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleah Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Yay for Timmy! It's great that he's talking. And you were so impatient about nothing at all. Can't wait to hear what else comes out of his mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammco Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Well, just a quick update. Timmys vocabulary is IMPRESSIVE!! prob 40-60 words and sentences, all mixed up. He does however have a very dirty mouth! haha He drops the "F bomb" alot, so his previous owners taught him all kinds of stuff!! He sounds just like my 1 year old copying her babbling and little girlie noises. Oh, also, he told my wife to "SHUT UP", hahahaha, she got a kick out of that!! This amazes me since his previous owners said he did not talk, just mimicked sounds and whistles..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 He was saving the best for you it seems, I would advise you not to react to the swear words for if you give any kind of reaction he may think it is a reward and keep doing it, if you ignore it then he might say those words less and less as time goes by but he will never forget them. Just tell him good job and praise what you like to hear and ignore the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I am so glad to get an update on Timmy! My computer died and I wasn't able to get on the forum for about a week. I kept thinking I got to check and see if there is a Timmy update. He definitely has a fan club here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malikah Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I can just hear him "Hey y'all", "cut out the light", "mash that button". Gotta love that southern drawl. I lived in Hendersonville, NC my junior year of high school. It took me about a month to quit saying y'all once I moved back to WI. We have no fun accent here. Our university journalism programs are HUGE! lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 He will probably bust out with a Buck Owens song pretty soon. Congratulations on Timmy feeling comfortable enough to start try to talk to you inferior humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
