first decent video of my baby grey!

I'll be bringing him(we think its a him, just waiting on test results) this sunday. Heres a video from when my parents dropped off the carrier for him to get acclimated. Hes only about 4 months old and since this video a week ago he's started saying "Are you a good boy?" "Hello," and one other three word phrase the breeder couldn't remember. I think it sounds like he's trying to say "Pretty bird" (right after my mom says "good boy," work in progress) in this video.

 

Last I was there, a week or two ago, the breeder said he used to solicit food from older birds, and had currently given that up but started feeding the baby cockatiels (which he loves). I'm really hoping that he continues to love food, thus making him super food motivated. That would be great for training!

thanks Judy. I'm so glad I waited for this one regardless of what sex he turns out to be (though I'll be a little bummed I can't name him Gandalf if it's a girl). Incredibly friendly and seems to be smart for his age too. Talking sooner and weaned earlier and faster than most of the other birds she's ever had. Four months is early for talking right? She told me today on the phone that her daughter loves him and usually can't stand the birds once they get a little order. Sunday can't come soon enough!

cool :) I've set up my computer so i can play videos, music etc remotely when i'm out of the house. I also set up a skype account that will auto answer so i can video chat with him on lunch etc. I'm curious to see if i can teach him to use the voice command features of OS X (Mac operating system) to play from selection of media on his own too. Technology and birds: two of my favorite things :P
